Israel’s Security Cabinet has approved granting legal immunity to the international stabilization contingent. The decision was made ahead of the deployment of these forces in certain areas of the Gaza Strip, despite active objections from security officials.
Representatives of Israel’s defense establishment warn that the deployment of an international contingent in the Gaza Strip could significantly restrict the operational freedom of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
According to experts, a reduction in the operational freedom of Israeli forces and the presence of foreign troops could create conditions for the restoration of Hamas’ military capabilities.
