Israel’s Political-Security Cabinet has approved the entry of what was described as an international multinational force into the Gaza Strip, according to information circulated on Sunday.

The decision effectively authorizes the deployment of the force and grants approval to begin establishing a base near the city of Rafah in southern Gaza.

The reported force has been described as an international multinational mission, with the approval marking the first formal step toward its deployment inside the Gaza Strip.

No further official details were immediately available regarding the composition of the force, its mandate, or the timeline for its deployment.
