"The International Stabilization Force (ISF) to the Gaza Strip will be tasked with securing border areas, protecting civilians and aid operations, securing humanitarian corridors, and ensuring the demilitarization of Gaza, along with other tasks envisioned in the US President Donald Trump's peace plan. Even with the the UN Security Council approving the formation of the ISF last week, however, it is not yet clear which countries will take part in it."
"Egypt, Turkey, and Azerbaijan have already signaled they would be willing to participate, as have two Asian nations: Pakistan and Indonesia, who are also the two most populous Muslim-dominated nations in the world.
