Israel’s security cabinet approves a plan to allow a proposed international force to enter parts of Gaza that are not under Israeli control, an Israeli official says. The approval covers areas beyond those currently under Israeli occupation. The proposal is part of a U.S.-backed plan for Gaza that was put forward in October. Reporting describes the decision as enabling the international force to operate in additional parts of the enclave rather than being limited to zones already under Israeli control. Details on the force’s size, mandate, rules of operation, and timeline are not provided in the accounts shared. Both sources present the decision as an Israeli government step toward implementing the October U.S.-backed proposal, with the key change being the geographic scope of where the international force would be allowed to enter inside Gaza. No further information is included about how the force would coordinate with existing parties in Gaza or about any conditions attached to the approval.
