Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday (October 26, 2025) Israel would determine which foreign forces it would allow as part of a planned international force in Gaza to help secure an end to its war under U.S.

It remains unclear whether Arab and other states will be ready to commit troops while Israel has expressed concerns about the make-up of the force. While the Trump administration has ruled out sending U.S. soldiers into Gaza, the force could draw on troops from Egypt, Indonesia and Gulf Arab countries.
