Israel signed a comprehensive legal agreement defining the operational relationship between the IDF and the International Stabilization Force (ISF) that will operate in the Gaza Strip, according to Ariel Kahana (Israel Hayom). The ISF is currently slated to include 250 soldiers from Morocco and Uganda. The agreement restricts IDF freedom of action in areas where friction with ISF troops may occur, and stipulates that ISF personnel will enter Gaza from Egypt, not via Israel. The negotiations were led by the Military Advocate General's Corps and the Ministry of Justice.
Israel has signed a full legal agreement defining the operational relationship between the IDF and the International Stabilization Force (ISF) that will operate in the Gaza Strip, journalist Ariel Kahana (Israel Hayom) reported Wednesday. The ISF is currently set to include 250 soldiers from Morocco and Uganda, with additional contributions expected.
The agreement details the interface between the two forces, including restrictions on IDF freedom of action in areas where friction with ISF troops is possible. A key clause stipulates that ISF personnel will not enter Gaza via Israel but will cross from Egypt. The negotiations, which lasted months, were led by the Military Advocate General's Corps and the Ministry of Justice.
The ISF framework has been a central component of the post-war stabilization plan for Gaza, overseen by the Board of Peace and involving multiple international actors. The Zioneer has previously reported on the ISF's planned role in overseeing disarmament, the establishment of an ISF base near Kerem Shalom, and the legal protections granted to its personnel. The signing of this agreement formalizes the operational parameters between the Israeli military and the international force. The full text of the agreement has not been published, and the report indicated that further details would follow.
