Israel’s approval of limited Gaza force a calculated manoeuvre, experts say
Summary
Israel’s security cabinet approved a small pilot project to allow 200 foreign troops from countries like Morocco and Uganda into a limited area of Gaza, as part of a peace plan supported by President Donald Trump. Experts say this move is mainly political, aiming to ease international pressure without changing the larger situation, as Israel maintains tight control over much of Gaza and ongoing conflict continues.Key Facts
