WASHINGTON — Five countries have committed troops for an international security force for Gaza, the commander of the force said on Thursday (Feb 19) during a meeting of President Donald Trump's newly created Board of Peace.
"The first five countries have committed troops to serve in the ISF — Indonesia, Morocco, Kazakhstan, Kosovo and Albania. Two countries have committed to train police — Egypt and Jordan," International Stabilisation Force commander Army Major General Jasper Jeffers said.
Jeffers also said the ISF would begin by deploying in southern Gaza's Rafa, training police there and "expanding sector by sector."
The long-term plan is to use 20,000 ISF troops and train 12,000 police, Jeffers said.
