Tony Blair, a member of the Executive Council of the "Peace Council," revealed security and political details concerning the future of the Gaza Strip, indicating that Israel will be responsible for inspecting and scrutinizing the new police force to be formed. Blair explained in media statements that this measure aims to ensure what he described as "proper governance" and prevent any security breaches that could threaten the new arrangements.
Blair affirmed, during his participation in the inaugural summit of the Council in Washington D.C., that the American administration led by Donald Trump places Israel's security at the top of its priorities. He added that the current approach seeks to balance strict Israeli security requirements with attempts to improve the living conditions of Palestinian residents in the Strip through international channels.
The proposed plan in Gaza is fundamentally based on the complete disarmament of the Palestinian resistance and the dismantling of all its military and structural capabilities. According to Blair, the ultimate goal is to ensure a smooth transition of power to an independent "technocrat committee" with full administrative and executive powers, away from armed factions.
Regarding the international military force, Blair announced that five Islamic countries have agreed to send security personnel to participate in the "International Stabilization Force." This list includes Indonesia, Morocco, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, and Albania, where these forces will work to maintain internal security in coordination with the supervising authorities.
Concerning the financial aspect, sources revealed international pledges amounting to approximately 7 billion dollars allocated for reconstruction and infrastructure operations. Blair indicated that there is real momentum to support this initiative, emphasizing that the door is still open for other countries to join this international alliance that seeks to impose a new reality in Gaza.
For his part, US President Donald Trump announced the allocation of 10 billion dollars to the "Peace Council" to fund major reconstruction projects in the Strip. Trump considered that this amount, despite its enormity, is small compared to the massive destruction caused by the war, stressing the need for firm international leadership for the file.
General Jasper Jeffers, commander of the International Stabilization Force, explained that the forces coming from the five mentioned countries will be the nucleus of a long-term security operation. This force aims to enforce the law and support the new Palestinian civil police, which will undergo strict screening criteria to ensure they do not belong to any resistance factions.
Despite these arrangements, the conference faced widespread criticism due to the absence of genuine Palestinian representation that expresses the national and political will of the Palestinian people. In contrast, the Israeli side actively participated as a key member of the Council, raising questions about the legitimacy of the decisions made in the absence of the direct stakeholders.
Israel will inspect the new police force in Gaza to ensure proper governance, and the plan is primarily based on disarming the resistance.
