Norway urges swift deployment of international stabilisation force
Norway’s Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide says the Gaza stabilisation force and Board of Peace must be put in place this month, adding the current ceasefire is “fragile and cannot hold for many more weeks in its current phase”.
Speaking at the Doha Forum in Qatar, he said the international military contingent needs to function as a peacekeeping force.
The international stabilisation force is envisioned as a multinational unit that would deploy to Gaza to secure the borders, maintain security by helping demilitarise Gaza, to help train police, and protect civilians and humanitarian operations, including securing humanitarian corridors.
What countries will contribute troops for the force has yet to be decided.
