Israel discusses Gaza withdrawals and multinational force deployment
Israel is facing intense pressure from the United States to implement a 14-day ceasefire in Gaza as part of a broader plan to disarm Hamas. While Hamas and Palestinian factions have expressed readiness to transition to the second phase of a peace agreement—which includes weapon collection—the Israeli government remains deeply divided.
Israeli security officials have discussed potential localized withdrawals from certain areas in Gaza to facilitate the deployment of a multinational force. Morocco and Uganda have been identified as potential major contributors of troops, though there is significant skepticism within the Israeli security establishment regarding the effectiveness of a force of this size.
Internal political friction is high; members of Israel's security cabinet have opposed the proposal, and far-right ministers have labeled the peace roadmap "dangerous for Israel." Furthermore, government Secretary Yossi Fuchs noted that Israel has not yet signed the agreement regarding the multinational force. Meanwhile, Palestinian officials demand that Israel fulfill its first-phase obligations, including a full withdrawal to the "yellow line" and the entry of sufficient humanitarian aid, before disarmament proceeds.
