US President Donald Trump administration’s draft UN Security Council resolution to establish an international force in Gaza would give the US and other participating countries a broad two-year mandate to govern Gaza and be in charge of security there, the US news website Axios reported.
According to a copy of the draft published by the news site, the so-called International Stabilization Force will be in charge of securing the Gaza Strip’s borders with Israel and Egypt, ensuring the safety of civilians and humanitarian zones and training new Palestinian police officers who it will partner with.
Axios cited a US official as saying the draft document will be the basis for negotiations over the coming days between UN Security Council members with the goal of voting to establish it in the coming weeks and deploying the first troops to Gaza by January.
The official stressed that the security force will be an “enforcement force and not a peacekeeping force”, according to Axios.
The draft document states that the force would be tasked with securing Gaza’s borders with Israel and Egypt, protecting civilians and humanitarian corridors, and training a new Palestinian police force, Axios reported.
The force would also “stabilize the security environment in Gaza by ensuring the process of demilitarizing the Gaza Strip, including the destruction and prevention of rebuilding of military, terror, and offensive infrastructure, as well as the permanent decommissioning of weapons from non-state armed groups”, the outlet reported.
Summit in Turkiye
Earlier on Monday, several Arab and Muslim countries met in Istanbul on Monday to discuss a United Nations mandate for the international force in Gaza, as proposed in a 20-point plan by US President Donald Trump to end the war.
Turkiye hosted the foreign ministers of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Pakistan, and Indonesia at the summit.

After the meeting, Turkiye’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said ‘Israel’ has failed to fulfill its responsibilities laid out in the US plan by “regularly violating the ceasefire” and preventing food, medicine and other humanitarian assistance from reaching the Palestinians in Gaza.
“We do not want the genocide to restart in Gaza, we want the ceasefire to continue, and we want steps to be taken toward a two-step, permanent peace solution,” Fidan said.
“We do believe that the pressure on Israel from the international society should be sustained,” he added.
