About 20 miles from Gaza, the United States has taken over a large and long-vacated industrial complex, where it has set up a civil-military coordination center. At any given time, approximately 200 American soldiers and officials are milling about in the facility in Kiryat Gat, a town in southern Israel. They are the United States’ eyes and ears, monitoring the fragile cease-fire between Israel and Hamas.
It’s clear that they are not meant to be deployed as a combat team to enforce the next stages of the Trump administration’s peace plan. But neither is anyone else. None of the United States’ allies or Arab partners have signaled any willingness to send troops to police Hamas if it refuses to disarm.
The international stabilization force (ISF) that has been envisaged to sufficiently assuage Israeli concerns and enable the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to leave Gaza, as well as to keep the peace that paves the way for Gaza’s reconstruction, faces daunting challenges ahead. Who is willing to commit troops, and who will Israel accept? Who will fight Hamas, and who might try to preserve Hamas?
The first obstacle to deploying such a force is the presence of Hamas itself, since no one wants to fight the group. If Hamas refuses to disarm, as appears to be the case, then it’s unlikely that any states—Western or Arab—will want to send troops to Gaza.

Nobody wants anything to do with actual palestinians.
Their arab brethren won’t touch them with a ten foot pole.
Tells you all you need to know.
I read on a thread here that Indonesia and a couple of other places I can’t recall said they would send troops. I can easily understand why nobody from nearby wants anything to do with the Palis.
No one wants to shovel dog shit with a dessert spoon? I’m shocked.
And France and Spain both have Foreign Legions that specialize in Third World interventions. For a price, they might contribute some Legionnaires.
It would be a whole lot easier for a peacekeeping force to keep the peace in Gaza if we would just cut every last Hamas SOB and symp to pieces.

RADIOACTIVE dog sh!t with a BROKEN PLASTIC spoon!
Better to set up a system of “carrot and stick” rewards and benefits for compliance.
Peace? Forever war. That’s the plan for jihadis. There is no shortage of Mo’s meditating murderers.
