US Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed optimism about establishing an International Stabilization Force in Gaza, as Washington advances a new draft resolution at the United Nations Security Council. Rubio emphasized that the force should not be a fighting unit, but rather focus on stabilizing Gaza and overseeing the demilitarization of non-state armed groups, including Hamas. The draft resolution outlines tasks such as destroying military infrastructure and preventing its reconstruction, with the aim of ensuring long-term security and enabling humanitarian aid and redevelopment. Rubio stated that the ultimate goal is for Gaza to be governed by a civilian Palestinian organization, with the International Stabilization Force providing interim security until that transition is achieved.
