France and Britain, in coordination with the United States, are working to finalize a United Nations Security Council resolution that would lay the groundwork for an international stabilization force in Gaza. The proposed force, which would not be a formal United Nations peacekeeping mission, aims to help secure the Palestinian enclave following the current ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Discussions are ongoing with several countries, including Indonesia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Qatar, and Azerbaijan, about contributing troops, with Indonesia offering up to 20,000 personnel if a resolution is adopted. The resolution is expected to provide a legal mandate for the mission and facilitate international participation, but the terms and structure of the force are still being developed.
