Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday said that Israel will determine which foreign troops it allows as part of a planned international force in Gaza under US President Donald Trump’s peace plan.

“We are in control of our security, and Israel will decide which international forces are unacceptable to us,” Netanyahu told his cabinet. He added that the US supports Israel’s position.

However, it remains unclear which Arab or other countries will commit troops. While the Trump administration has ruled out sending US soldiers, the force could include personnel from Egypt, Indonesia and Gulf Arab states.

Israel continues to control all access to Gaza , which it has besieged for two years during its war against Hamas following the group’s October 7, 2023, cross-border attack.
