US President Donald Trump said an international stabilisation force to uphold the Gaza ceasefire will be deployed “very soon.” The United States has asked the United Nations for a mandate to mobilise the force inside the enclave, he said, as officials press for an organised presence to help keep the truce in place.
Trump described the planned deployment as aimed at maintaining the ceasefire and providing a stabilising presence in the heavily damaged territory. Details on the composition, contributing countries, exact mission mandate and timeline have not been released; Washington is seeking UN authorization that would allow the multinational force to operate under an international legal framework.
The announcement underscores a push by the US to move from active hostilities toward a period of monitoring and stabilisation. International discussions on the size, rules of engagement and duration of the force are expected to follow as UN members consider the request.
