France, Britain, and the United States are working to finalize a United Nations Security Council resolution to establish an international stabilization force in Gaza, according to the French Foreign Ministry. The move comes as a fragile U.S.-mediated ceasefire between Israel and Hamas holds, sparking discussions on post-war governance and security in the enclave.
French Foreign Ministry spokesperson Pascal Confavreux said the force must have a U.N. mandate to ensure a strong legal foundation and facilitate troop contributions from various countries. “France is working closely with its partners on the establishment of such an international mission, which must be formalized through the adoption of a U.N. Security Council resolution,” he stated, noting ongoing talks with the U.S. and the UK.
U.S. officials confirmed that Washington is in discussions with several nations interested in contributing troops, including Indonesia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Qatar, and Azerbaijan. Italy has also expressed willingness to participate. Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto announced at the U.N. General Assembly that Indonesia is ready to deploy up to 20,000 troops if the U.N. approves the mission.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer emphasized that the stabilization force would “take some time,” with details still under negotiation. The proposed mission is not expected to be a formal U.N. peacekeeping operation but could mirror the Security Council’s recent authorization of a multinational force in Haiti, allowing countries to “take all necessary measures” to ensure security.
The 193-member U.N. General Assembly recently backed a declaration supporting a two-state solution and endorsed the creation of a temporary international stabilization mission in Gaza. As discussions progress, world powers aim to lay the groundwork for a lasting peace and reconstruction in the war-torn territory.
