"Proposed Arab Peacekeeping Force for Gaza Faces Rejection and Advancement"

Palestinian factions in Syria have rejected a proposal to introduce a multinational Arab force in Gaza, backed by the US, to maintain order and escort humanitarian aid convoys. The proposal also includes the possibility of a similar force in the West Bank, with Arab leaders expressing willingness to deploy forces to launch a peace process and implement a two-state solution. Israeli officials see the potential for such a force to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and create an alternative to Hamas rule, while also securing the temporary pier and aid convoys.
