A report on Wednesday evening states that Morocco has joined the international stabilization force for Gaza. The force, backed by the United States, is intended to prevent Hamas from re-establishing itself in the Gaza Strip after the current war. No further details about the size or timeline of the Moroccan deployment are provided in the initial report.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday that a small group of Moroccan soldiers had begun training near the Gaza border as part of the same international force. According to that report, the force is part of President Trump's peace plan for Gaza, though Hamas continues to refuse disarmament and reconstruction has not begun.
Morocco's involvement is notable as one of the first Arab countries to join the stabilization force, reflecting its diplomatic ties with Israel and the US. The development also signals progress in the international community's efforts to establish a post-war governance framework for Gaza.
