The US said it is sending 200 troops to “monitor” the ceasefire deal in Gaza, which is widely believed to be the first step in building an International Stabilisation Force (ISF) to bring calm to the besieged Palestinian territory.
The ISF is part of clause 15 of Donald Trump’s 20-point plan, which stipulates the United States will collaborate with Arab and international partners to establish a temporary force in Gaza to train Palestinian police, secure borders and support reconstruction, while serving as a “long-term internal security solution”.
