US preparations for deploying an International Stabilization Force in Gaza accelerated in early November 2026, with Israeli approval for an initial contingent of about 250 foreign troops from countries including Indonesia, Morocco, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Uganda, and Albania. Foreign military officers accompanied by US personnel were observed near the border as the US expanded a logistical base to support the mission, which aims to assist security, disarmament, and humanitarian operations under the Board of Peace framework. Israel opposes Turkish participation amid concerns over regional influence, while recent flooding has prompted calls for increased winter aid deliveries. Ceasefire violations continue, and a UN Security Council vote on the force remains pending, potentially influencing timelines for any broader foreign military presence.
