Following this week's cabinet decision to deploy a multinational force in Gaza, an Israeli political source clarifies that Israel will retain case-by-case approval over every entry of international personnel. The statement comes amid ongoing negotiations over the force's mandate and composition.
An Israeli political source clarified Thursday that the government will require case-by-case approval for every entry of an international force into Gaza, following this week's cabinet decision to allow a multinational deployment.
The clarification comes amid a contentious debate over the force's mandate and composition. As The Zioneer reported on Monday, several ministers claimed the cabinet vote was based on false information, without specifying which details were incorrect. A senior figure in the Peace Council also indicated last week that any Israeli withdrawal would be gradual, pending negotiations.
The source's statement appears aimed at addressing concerns that Israel might lose operational control over the security zone. The precise framework for the international force, including its size, rules of engagement, and chain of command, remains under discussion. No further details were provided.
