US provides US$206 million for Gaza force despite deadlocked peace plan
The State Department informed Congress it will provide US$200 million for the International Stabilization Force's equipment, infrastructure, vehicles and operational costs, with an additional US$6 million to repurpose US armoured vehicles to support the force.
The U.S. Department of State has announced it will allocate $206 million for a proposed Gaza peacekeeping force, despite the peace plan being deadlocked. This funding includes $200 million for the International Stabilization Force's (ISF) equipment, infrastructure, vehicles, and operational costs, along with $6 million to repurpose U.S. armored vehicles to support the ISF.
The notifications were sent to key congressional committees and have not been previously reported. The ISF will be responsible for security operations, supporting demilitarization, and facilitating the safe delivery of humanitarian aid and reconstruction materials to Gaza. The administration remains committed to implementing President Trump's 21-point peace plan, which includes deploying the ISF to Gaza after Israeli forces withdraw and training new Palestinian police forces.
However, progress on the plan has stalled as both Israel and Hamas have refused to meet key conditions, with both sides standing firm on their demands.
