Israel to allow international force to Enter Gaza

Israel will allow a multinational security force to enter Gaza as proposed under U.S. President Donald Trump's ceasefire plan for the enclave, an Israeli official said on Sunday, a day before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu heads to Washington.



Netanyahu's security cabinet on Sunday approved the legal framework that would allow the force's entry to Gaza.



Netanyahu is scheduled to depart for Washington on Monday and is expected to meet Trump on Tuesday.



The official said that the mission, called the International Stabilization Force, will include 200 members from "friendly countries such as Uganda and Morocco" deploying in areas that are not under Israeli control.



Each contingent requires individual Israeli approval to enter Gaza.



It was unclear when the forces would deploy.
