International troops will be deployed in Gaza for security
A new plan aimed at ensuring security around the Gaza Strip is being implemented. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
Initially, five countries have agreed to send troops to serve as part of the International Security Forces (ISF). This was announced by ISF commander Major General Jasper Jeffers at the “Peace Council” meeting held in Washington on February 19.
According to him, Indonesia, Morocco, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, and Albania have expressed their readiness to send troops to the ISF ranks. Egypt and Jordan have taken responsibility for police training and education.
According to the plan, the security forces will initially be stationed in the Rafah area in the southern Gaza Strip, where they will begin training police officers. Subsequently, the security system will gradually expand and spread to other areas.
Jeffers stated that long-term plans include expanding the ISF to up to 20,000 military personnel and training 12,000 police officers. These plans indicate that they view security in Gaza not as a short-term but as a long-term system.
Additionally, one of the major infrastructure projects is the construction of a military base in southern Gaza, which is expected to serve as an operational center for the ISF and have the capacity to accommodate 5,000 military personnel. According to The Guardian, land plots for this project have already been reviewed.
Many questions and debates have arisen around these plans. On one hand, security provision and police training efforts are ongoing, while on the other hand, issues such as the deployment of foreign troops and infrastructure construction are causing discussions.
The greatest hope is that all plans will serve to ensure the safety of the civilian population and restore their prosperous life. Other matters will be resolved within the framework of technical and organizational processes.
