The United States has formally asked the United Nations Security Council to approve the creation of an International Security Force (ISF) to operate in Gaza. The proposal aims to help stabilize the region, protect civilians, and support reconstruction efforts following months of violence.
According to diplomatic reports, the U.S. has shared a draft resolution with other member states that outlines the mission’s mandate, responsibilities, and operational structure. The proposed plan suggests deploying the ISF for a minimum period of two years, with the possibility of extension based on conditions on the ground.
The Gaza Board of Peace, which will oversee the advisory role in shaping the force, is expected to be chaired by U.S. President Donald Trump. The board will provide policy guidance, coordinate with regional partners, and ensure that humanitarian and security objectives are met.
The ISF would likely include peacekeeping troops and technical experts from multiple UN member nations. Their main tasks would involve maintaining security, supporting aid delivery, rebuilding infrastructure, and assisting in the establishment of a stable civil administration in Gaza.
The proposal reflects Washington’s broader goal of promoting peace, reconstruction, and long-term stability in the region. However, several UN member states are still reviewing the draft and may propose amendments before any final vote takes place.
If approved, the mission would represent one of the largest international peacekeeping efforts in Gaza’s history, signaling a renewed global focus on peace and recovery.
