The approval may reduce geopolitical risk in the region, potentially stabilizing energy markets and defense stocks. However, the stalled peace process and continued hostilities limit positive market sentiment.
Israel's security cabinet approved the legal framework allowing a multinational security force, the International Stabilization Force, to enter Gaza as part of US President Donald Trump's ceasefire plan. The force will include 200 members from friendly countries such as Uganda and Morocco, deploying in areas not under Israeli control. Each contingent requires individual Israeli approval. The decision comes ahead of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Washington to meet Trump. The ceasefire plan, which includes a Board of Peace and a Palestinian technocrat administration, has stalled due to Hamas's refusal to disarm and ongoing Israeli military operations. Nickolay Mladenov, Trump's envoy, welcomed the Israeli decision.
