The Israeli Security Cabinet has approved the entry of a multinational International Stabilization Force and the Board of Peace’s pilot humanitarian scheme for Gaza, starting in the Rafah area to oversee a controlled humanitarian zone. The plan envisions restoring basic services, distributing aid, and housing up to 50,000 displaced Palestinians, with tight security vetting for those relocating to ensure no Hamas ties. Civil administration would be handled by a Palestinian technocratic body, the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, while the ISF provides external security and the IDF would withdraw from the pilot area yet retain overall territorial control along the surrounding lines. The arrangement is framed as part of a broader post-conflict reconstruction and is linked by officials to President Donald Trump’s 20-point framework for Gaza, though ongoing debates over disarmament and security remain. Notably, the decision faced internal divisions, with some ministers opposing the plan, as cabinet discussions and briefings indicated ongoing contention about the scope and timeline of the pilot. If the pilot proves successful, officials say it could expand to additional areas of Gaza as part of a broader reconstruction effort.
