A political source confirmed Sunday that the Security Cabinet approved granting immunity to the International Stabilization Force (ISF) to operate in the Gaza Strip, as part of the Trump 20-point plan. The ISF will operate in coordination with the IDF beyond the Yellow Line. Any entry requires specific approval by the prime minister, defense minister, and foreign minister, and only countries with peace agreements with Israel may send forces, initially about 200 from Uganda and Morocco.
The Security Cabinet on Sunday approved granting immunity to the International Stabilization Force (ISF) to operate in the Gaza Strip, a political source confirmed. The source said the decision is part of the 20-point plan outlined by U.S. President Donald Trump that led to the release of all hostages. The ISF will operate in full coordination with the IDF in areas beyond the Yellow Line not under IDF control. The cabinet determined that Israel will authorize which countries can send forces, limiting participation to states with which Israel has peace agreements and that do not act against Israel or its officials internationally. Each entry of an ISF contingent requires specific approval by the prime minister, defense minister, and foreign minister. Initially, the force will consist of about 200 personnel from friendly countries including Uganda and Morocco. The source emphasized that Israel insists on the IDF holding the Yellow Line and that there will be no withdrawal until Hamas is fully disarmed and the Gaza Strip is completely demilitarized. The deployment follows the framework established by the Trump administration and comes as part of broader efforts to stabilize Gaza after the hostage release deal.
