The Israeli extreme right-wing Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to cancel the decision to deploy international forces in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli Security Cabinet (Cabinet) approved granting immunity to the international security forces operating in areas outside the Green Line in Gaza, contingent upon a separate agreement from the Prime Minister, Defense Minister, and Foreign Minister. It was also approved to allow friendly countries such as Uganda and Morocco to send troops, with adherence to the Green Line and no withdrawal until Hamas is fully disarmed. Additionally, the Cabinet agreed to deploy a multinational force to the Rafah area to provide humanitarian aid. This move is considered the first since the Trump initiative, aiming to restart essential services and establish temporary shelters outside Hamas’s control, with plans to expand this experience in the future. Meanwhile, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir called for preventing the entry of international forces until Hamas is disarmed, emphasizing that the civil affairs plan would be managed by a Palestinian technocratic committee supported by the international force. No official Palestinian statements have been issued so far.
