The United States has proposed a two-year United Nations mandate to deploy an international force in Gaza, aiming to ensure stability and demilitarization. The proposal, outlined in a draft Security Council resolution, calls for an international stabilization force to address the ongoing conflict and restore order in the region.
Despite the resolution’s emphasis on demilitarization, specific details regarding the force’s composition, command structure, and operational procedures remain unclear. The U.S. is seeking broad international support for the initiative, which aims to create a framework for long-term stability and security in the region.
The proposal follows recent damage to critical infrastructure in Gaza City, including residential and commercial buildings, which have exacerbated humanitarian concerns. The draft resolution underscores the need for immediate humanitarian assistance and the establishment of a secure environment to facilitate aid distribution and reconstruction efforts. The U.S. has emphasized that the mandate would be temporary, lasting two years, with a review process to assess its effectiveness.
International leaders and regional organizations are expected to respond to the proposal, though there may be significant political challenges in securing consensus. The resolution is seen as a critical step towards addressing the complex security and humanitarian issues facing Gaza, with the ultimate goal of fostering peace and stability in the region.
