Summary:
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with US President Donald Trump on December 29 to discuss implementing Phase 2 of the Gaza ceasefire plan endorsed by UN Security Council Resolution 2803. A key provision of the resolution calls for the formation of an International Stabilization Force (ISF) tasked with disarming Hamas and demilitarizing Gaza. While most UN Member States are reluctant to contribute troops, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are considered the only force capable of effectively executing this mandate. The resolution allows for close cooperation with Egypt and Israel and does not exclude the possibility that the ISF could be composed entirely of IDF troops, who also have experience training Palestinian police and maintaining contacts with anti-Hamas militias in Gaza.

Scripture: Psalm 44:5-6

Commentary:
Decisions about force in Gaza are unfolding not just on the world stage but on land God gave to Israel, which raises the significance of every conversation in ways the headlines can’t show. There’s a tension between international mandates and local realities; the IDF’s involvement brings regional experience but also stirs strong reactions.

Prophetic Trend:
International involvement in Gaza grows, highlighting prophetic dynamics of outside powers and Israel acting on its covenant land.

The most urgent task in Phase 2 is addressed by the resolution at Section 7. The provision urges the many interested parties — called Member States — to organize an International Stabilization Force (ISF) that will disarm Hamas and demilitarize Gaza. It won’t be easy. Most Member States are unwilling or reluctant to commit troops to the ISF. Others suggest the ISF should be a mere monitoring group similar to the UN peacekeepers in Lebanon.
