Israel is preparing to deploy an international force in Gaza as part of U.S. President Donald Trump’s peace plan for rebuilding the war-torn territory. According to Israel’s public broadcaster KAN, the deployment is scheduled to begin in May 2026. The multinational force will include about 5,000 Indonesian troops, along with soldiers from Kazakhstan, Morocco, Albania, and Kosovo.

The first phase will focus on the Rafah area in southern Gaza, surrounding a new Palestinian city built with support from the United Arab Emirates. The operation will later expand to other parts of the Gaza Strip, particularly near areas referred to by Israeli media as the “Yellow Line.” Before entering Gaza, several hundred foreign troops are expected to undergo training in Jordan next month.

KAN also reported that military delegations from participating countries are expected to arrive in Israel within two weeks to finalize preparations for the mission.
