US seeks to deploy international force in Gaza as early as next month
In recent talks, U.S. representatives outlined the plan, under which former UN Middle East envoy Nikolay Mladenov would head a “Peace Committee,” while a U.S. general would lead the international stabilization force for Gaza.
However, it remains unclear how Hamas would respond to the American demand to demilitarize Gaza, including whether the plan refers only to offensive weapons or to the transfer of all arms to other hands.
Earlier this week, Hamas leader abroad Khaled Mashal told Al Jazeera that armed groups in Gaza would not disarm, saying it would be “like severing the soul.”
