The U.S. is studying a plan to divide Gaza into zones with different levels of control. Documents cited by The Guardian outline a green zone for reconstruction under Israeli and international oversight, and a red zone that would remain heavily damaged after two years of war.
The creation of an International Stabilisation Force forms the core of the drafted U.S. proposal. Washington expects a UN Security Council resolution to provide the force with a formal mandate and hopes that governments will then confirm troop commitments.
The proposal appears in a series of U.S. Central Command documents that outline the role of several European states.
The planning includes deploying British and French forces to the eastern part of Gaza. Up to 1500 British infantry personnel and as many as 1000 French soldiers would take part in security duties and mine clearance.
The U.S. also explored the participation of Germany, the Netherlands and Nordic states to establish field hospitals and logistics units.
The documents state that Israeli forces will determine any future withdrawal only after international security conditions are met.
No timeline is mentioned. At the same time, President Trump has ruled out sending U.S. troops to prepare a withdrawal or to finance Gaza’s reconstruction. A U.S. official told the newspaper that Washington intends to shape the political outline rather than fund its implementation.
The publication notes that the draft raises questions about Washington’s commitment to linking a ceasefire to a wider political settlement involving Palestinian administration across the enclave.
Analysts warn that without a workable peacekeeping framework, a clear withdrawal process and large scale reconstruction, Gaza could enter a prolonged period of uncertainty despite the end of major operations.
