Jordan and Germany have called for the proposed International Stabilization Force in Gaza to operate under a United Nations mandate. The force, part of a postwar governance plan, would be tasked with training Palestinian police and securing the region, but questions remain about its funding and which countries will contribute troops. Jordan has ruled out sending its own forces, citing its proximity to the conflict, while Germany emphasized the need for a clear legal basis for the mission. The proposal has faced criticism from some United Nations experts, who warn it could undermine Palestinian self-determination.
