Five countries have pledged to send troops to the newly formed Gaza International Stability Force (ISF), according to its commander Major General Jasper Jeffers. Speaking at the inaugural meeting of the Peace Board in Washington on Thursday, Jeffers said Indonesia, Morocco, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, and Albania will contribute forces to secure the Gaza Valley and lay the foundation for lasting peace. Egypt and Jordan will not send troops but will train Palestinian police instead.

Jeffers announced that Indonesia will serve as the ISF’s deputy commander, emphasizing the mission’s goal of ensuring Gaza’s security and prosperity. Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto reaffirmed Jakarta’s commitment, stating that his country will deploy 8,000 or more troops. He expressed hope that genuine peace could be achieved under President Donald Trump’s leadership despite existing challenges.

At the same meeting, nine member countries pledged a total of 7 billion dollars to a reconstruction fund for war-torn Gaza. The U.S. President said the United States would contribute 10 billion dollars to the Peace Board, though he did not specify how the funds would be used.
