Israel will allow a multinational security force to enter Gaza as proposed under U.S. President Donald Trump's ceasefire plan for the enclave, an Israeli official said on Sunday, a day before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu heads to Washington.

Netanyahu's security cabinet on Sunday ‌approved the legal framework that would allow the force's entry to Gaza, the official said. ​Netanyahu is scheduled to depart for Washington on Monday and is expected to meet Trump on Tuesday.

The official said that the mission, called the ⁠International Stabilization Force, will include 200 members from "friendly countries such as Uganda and Morocco" deploying in ​areas that are not under Israeli control. Each contingent requires individual Israeli approval to enter Gaza.

It ⁠was unclear when the forces would deploy.

Much of Gaza remains in ruins from two years of full-scale war triggered by the Hamas-led attacks on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.

After a ceasefire deal was struck in October, Trump ‌set out a peace plan for Gaza that provided for a surge in humanitarian aid, ​civilian administration by ‌Palestinian technocrats, Hamas laying down its arms and Israeli forces withdrawing.

But the plan has stalled and the group of technocrats — known as the ‌National Committee for the Administration of Gaza — has remained outside Gaza.

Israel effectively controls an estimated 64% of Gaza while nearly all of its 2 million people live on ⁠a sliver of land on the coast under ‌Hamas control, mainly in makeshift ⁠tents or damaged buildings and facing dire conditions.

Hamas has so far refused to disarm and Israel has said it will ⁠expand its ⁠area of control in Gaza to 70% of the enclave, where it has continued almost daily military strikes.

Trump’s plan included a ‌Board of Peace as an overarching international authority responsible for implementing the peace framework. It would oversee the security force, among other functions.

The boardis planning a pilot humanitarian zone for Gazans as a way to ‌kickstart the ​U.S. president's stalled plan, a ‌board official said this month.

Nickolay Mladenov, Trump's Board of Peace envoy for Gaza, welcomed the Israeli decision.

"It is a critical part of the agreed framework for stabilizing Gaza, ​supporting demilitarization, and enabling the transition to effective Palestinian transitional administration under the @NCAG," he said on X, referring to the Palestinian civilian administration body.
