Fourteen Arab countries back the UN Security Council resolution draft revealed Tuesday morning regarding Gaza's future, Israel Hayom has learned.
American officials explained to Arab state representatives that if they don't accept the proposal the Trump administration is pushing, the alternative would be Israel restarting its Gaza war. "Choose between this text and [hard right minister] Bezalel Smotrich," officials said. Still, sources familiar with the details believe there may be minor adjustments to the resolution language.
The International Stabilization Force (ISF) is intended to serve as Gaza's sole military force under the Trump plan, tasked with dismantling terror infrastructure and demilitarizing the Strip. The comprehensive plan for ending the Gaza conflict rests on the "The Trump Declaration for Enduring Peace and Prosperity," more commonly known as the "20-point plan."
The plan centers on rehabilitating the Gaza Strip and securing regional stability, while attempting to build broad international backing for a new civilian and security apparatus to be created in the Strip.
Israel Hayom published the key elements of the anticipated resolution and the projected Security Council vote timing, roughly a week and a half to two weeks away. Currently, despite agreeing to the UN Security Council resolution, most Arab nations expected to contribute soldiers to the multinational force remain unwilling to do so.
Saudi Arabia and the UAE are making Hamas disarmament a precondition before deploying soldiers, while Egypt fears confrontations with Hamas operatives on one hand and the IDF on the other. Which leaves Israel with the Azeris and the Indonesians.
