POLICY WIRE — Jerusalem, Israel — Israel has approved the entry of a multinational security force into the Gaza Strip under a ceasefire plan proposed by US President Donald Trump, an Israeli official confirmed on Sunday.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security cabinet convened on Sunday and approved the legal framework that would facilitate the force’s entry into Gaza. Netanyahu is scheduled to depart for Washington on Monday — and is expected to meet with Trump on Tuesday.

An official, speaking on condition of anonymity, stated that the mission, referred to as the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), is designed to stabilize the region and enforce the ceasefire.

The Israeli official emphasized that the decision was made in close coordination with the United States and aligns with broader international efforts to achieve lasting peace in the region.

Netanyahu’s office released a statement confirming the approval but didn’t provide further details on the composition or specific mandate of the multinational force. The Israeli leader is anticipated to discuss the plan further during his upcoming meeting with President Trump.

The move comes amid ongoing tensions in the region and follows several failed attempts to broker a sustainable ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian factions in Gaza. The international community has expressed cautious optimism about the new plan, although skepticism remains regarding its implementation and effectiveness.

The United Nations and several European nations have voiced support for the initiative, highlighting the need for a comprehensive approach to address the underlying issues driving the conflict.
