France is actively advancing an initiative to establish an “International Stabilization Mission” to replace the IDF and disarm Hamas in a post-war Gaza, according to a draft of the proposal obtained by The Times of Israel. The plan is designed to operationalize a broader, internationally-backed declaration from July that calls for a two-state solution.
The proposed mission, a key component of France's diplomatic push, aims to create a transitional force that would secure the territory and eventually transfer internal security responsibilities to the Palestinian Authority. The proposal specifically names several Arab states, including Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar, as preferred candidates to lead the multinational force.
