The Global Peace Council's first meeting has announced a $10 billion support package for Gaza and plans for police recruitment and international stabilization forces.
The inaugural meeting of the Global Peace Council revealed a commitment of $10 billion to support Gaza, aiming to stabilize the region post-conflict. The council plans to enlist thousands in police forces and international troops as part of a broader strategy to enforce peace and security under a unified command. The initiative seeks to reestablish order and governance in Gaza amidst various political and legal challenges that Israel and Palestine face.
U.S. President Donald Trump highlighted the council's formation as a pivotal moment towards stability, suggesting a non-military approach towards Hamas, who are expected to disarm under the new arrangement. The challenges ahead are significant, as Israel and Palestinian pressures could complicate the council's objectives and their implementation strategies. Trump emphasized the council’s potential for peace while navigating the delicate dynamics of the region.
Al Jazeera’s reporter Mahmoud Khan detailed that the executive committees, including the executive council for Gaza, are focused on recruiting around 12,000 police personnel to ensure law and order. The international stabilization force is envisioned to consist of approximately 20,000 soldiers deployed across key areas in Gaza, complemented by surveillance towers to enhance security measures. The council aims to solidify control and embark on a reformation of security dynamics in the region, though it will likely face numerous obstacles along the way.
