On February 20, 2026, Major General Jasper Jeffers announced that five countries—Indonesia, Morocco, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, and Albania—have committed troops to the newly formed International Stabilization Force (ISF) for Gaza. This announcement was made during a meeting of President Donald Trump's Board of Peace in Washington. Jeffers stated, "The ISF will do two things: stabilize the security environment in Gaza and enable civilian governance as established by the national committee." The long-term objective is to deploy 20,000 ISF troops and train 12,000 local police, with the initial deployment focusing on the southern Gaza city of Rafah. Jeffers noted that Indonesia will serve as the deputy commander of the ISF and has pledged to contribute at least 8,000 troops to the effort, as reported by The Epoch Times and DawnNews English.
