US Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized the need to clarify the mandate and funding for the International Stabilization Force before expecting countries to commit troops. Speaking at a press conference, Rubio acknowledged Pakistan's willingness to consider participation but stressed that more details are needed before formal commitments can be made. He expressed confidence that several countries are open to joining the force, but noted that the United States is still working to secure concrete contributions. Rubio also outlined next steps, including the announcement of a Board of Peace and a Palestinian technocratic committee to oversee daily governance, which he said would help solidify the stabilization force's structure and responsibilities.
