Morocco has signed an agreement to join the International Stabilization Force planned for the Gaza Strip, becoming the latest country to participate in the multinational effort aimed at supporting security and stability in postwar Gaza, according to Morocco’s state news agency MAP.

The agreement was signed in Rabat during a ceremony attended by Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita, senior Moroccan defense officials, Nicolay Mladenov, the Board of Peace’s envoy for Gaza, and the commander of the International Stabilization Force. The agreement formally commits Morocco to participating in the multinational mission.

Officials did not immediately disclose the size of Morocco’s deployment, the timeline for its participation, or the specific role its forces will play. The mission is expected to operate as part of the broader international framework for Gaza’s postwar transition, with additional details expected to be announced at a later date.

Morocco’s participation is considered a significant development given the country’s diplomatic ties with Israel while also supporting the establishment of a Palestinian state.
