President Donald Trump’s administration is preparing to appoint an American two-star general to lead the new International Stabilization Force (ISF) in Gaza, according to a report by Axios citing both U.S. and Israeli officials.
The appointment represents a key phase in implementing the administration’s 20-point peace plan to demilitarize Gaza and transition the territory toward civilian governance following the ceasefire with Hamas. The United Nations Security Council authorized the mission on Nov. 17, establishing a Board of Peace to coordinate reconstruction and security operations under a temporary international mandate.
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz, who met this week with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, confirmed that Washington will assume leadership of the ISF and appoint a U.S. general to command the mission. The Trump administration’s leadership role ensures American oversight of stabilization and redevelopment efforts in coordination with partner nations.
President Trump said Wednesday that details on the participating world leaders serving on the Gaza Board of Peace will be released early next year. The Board will oversee humanitarian aid distribution, infrastructure reconstruction, and regional coordination under the broader U.S.-drafted framework designed to prevent Hamas’s rearmament.
The Security Council resolution described the Board of Peace as a “transitional administration” responsible for setting policy and coordinating international funding for Gaza’s redevelopment, aligning with Trump’s long-term plan to restore security and stability through American-led oversight and global cooperation.
