Qatar and Egypt call for rapid deployment of Gaza stabilisation force
The call comes after Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani held talks with Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty on the sidelines of the Doha Forum in Qatar’s capital.
The Egyptian Foreign Ministry said in a readout of the discussions that the leaders emphasised the importance of continuing efforts to implement the Gaza peace deal, to establish a ceasefire, and to prevent any violations of the agreement.
They also called for the Gaza stabilisation force to be set up rapidly in the Palestinian enclave and enabled to do its work.
Gaza ceasefire at ‘critical moment’ amid risk of collapse: Mediators
Qatar’s prime minister has warned that the Gaza ceasefire is at a “critical moment” and could unravel without rapid movement towards a permanent peace deal.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani told the Doha Forum that what exists on the ground amounts to merely a “pause” in hostilities rather than a genuine ceasefire.
A true ceasefire “cannot be completed unless there is a full withdrawal” of Israeli forces, alongside restored stability and freedom of movement for Palestinians, none of which have materialised, he said.
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan echoed that message at the forum, saying without timely United States intervention, the peace process risks stalling entirely.
Norway urges swift deployment of international stabilisation force
Norway’s Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide says the Gaza stabilisation force and Board of Peace must be put in place this month, adding the current ceasefire is “fragile and cannot hold for many more weeks in its current phase”.
Speaking at the Doha Forum in Qatar, he said the international military contingent needs to function as a peacekeeping force.
The international stabilisation force is envisioned as a multinational unit that would deploy to Gaza to secure the borders, maintain security by helping demilitarise Gaza, to help train police, and protect civilians and humanitarian operations, including securing humanitarian corridors.
What countries will contribute troops for the force has yet to be decided.
It's an international occupation force led by war criminals Trump and Tony Blair, so no wonder countries are not jumping to sign up.
