Morocco recently signed an agreement to participate in the International Stabilization Force (ISF) in Gaza.
This agreement "reflects the shared determination to contribute, through concrete humanitarian and security actions, to the establishment of a climate of peace and security in the region," Morocco's state news agency MAP reported in July. According to the report, Morocco's contribution includes military personnel, police and gendarmerie forces and a field hospital.
Morocco is the first Arab country to join the planned international security mission for the Gaza Strip. Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kosovo and Albania are also part of the force, while Jordan and Egypt have agreed to supporting roles only.
However, it remains to be seen whether the ISF can ever be deployed on the scale originally envisioned by its initiators.
The force, which is linked to the "Board of Peace" established by US President Donald Trump, is intended to do far more than simply secure humanitarian aid: It's seen as the security cornerstone of the planned post-war order for Gaza.
