Israeli security cabinet approves letting international force enter Gaza areas beyond Israeli control
The plan would let about 200 peacekeeping representatives enter Rafah as Israel prepares to shift civilian control to a technocratic committee.
- On Sunday, Israel's security cabinet approved the entry of President Donald Trump's Board of Peace into the Gaza Strip, authorizing a limited peacekeeping pilot project in Rafah one day before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu travels to Washington.
- The initiative marks a significant reduction from the original recovery plan announced in January, now featuring a pilot project involving around 200 representatives from friendly countries such as Uganda and Morocco.
- Plans include constructing two temporary residential areas, including one dubbed the "Emirati neighborhood," while the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza manages essential services within the designated "orange zone."
- Israeli officials intend to launch the pilot in the coming weeks, though it faces operational hurdles as the Israeli Defence Forces continue military operations and residents face strict security screenings.
- Analysts suggest Netanyahu seeks to manage this pilot ahead of the October general election, balancing domestic pressure with ongoing regional tensions involving Iran and Hezbollah.
