Israel approves 200 international troops for Gaza
Each contingent will still need Israel's approval, while Uganda and Maroko are among countries being considered.
Israel's security cabinet on Sunday (26/7) approved the legal framework allowing an International Stabilization Force to enter the Gaza Strip. According to an official in the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the initial deployment will include about 200 personnel, and each contingent must still receive Israeli approval and coordinate fully with the Israeli military.
Reuters and Al Jazeera reported that Uganda and Maroko are among the countries being considered to take part. The force would operate under the auspices of the Peace Council and form part of a postwar Gaza plan that also includes humanitarian aid, Palestinian civilian governance by technocrats, the disarmament of Hamas and the withdrawal of Israeli forces. There is no certainty yet on when the force will begin entering Gaza.
