The Israeli occupation government has prevented representatives of the international stabilization force from entering the Gaza Strip to conduct a field tour in Rafah.
Israel’s political echelon vetoed a planned field tour in the Gaza Strip by representatives of the multinational force, which was scheduled to take place last week, Israel’s Kan 11 News reported on Wednesday.
The delegation, which included military and political representatives from Indonesia, Morocco, Kosovo, Kazakhstan, and Albania, arrived in Israel and held meetings with senior Israeli army officials and representatives from the US special command.
Despite prior coordination, when the time came for the scheduled tour in the Rafah area, where the force was supposed to begin its operational deployment according to US president Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan, the Israeli army received an order from the political leadership to prevent its entry.
A source familiar with the details explained that the Israeli regime is not prepared to allow foreign forces any “foothold” on the ground before concrete and irreversible steps are taken to disarm the Hamas Movement, and before a Palestinian Arab technocratic government takes office.
