Trump : asserts that regional calm is holding and claims to be growing the stabilizing force in Gaza
Trump: As additional nations join what he called a growing multinational effort, US President Donald Trump stated Monday that an international stability force is already in operation in Gaza and rising, claiming that peace is being maintained across the Middle East.
Trump told reporters at the White House that the agreement was already in place and gaining traction, adding, “I think that it’s in a form, it’s already running in a very strong form.”
Trump indicated widespread international support for the initiative by stating that more nations were offering to send soldiers. “They’ll send any number of troops that I asked them to send,” he said, adding that the participating countries were driven by a same goal of stability.
Trump said that nations outside of the local area are part of the force. He said, “We have more than 59 countries.” “We have a number of nations that are rather near to the Middle East but aren’t really in it. They want to participate.
He predicted that the initiative’s power and reach would only increase. “I believe it’s in a form; it’s operating in a very powerful form right now. Trump said that the force was already in action on the ground and added, “It’s already, but it’s going to get stronger and stronger, and more and more countries are coming into it.”
Trump said that Washington’s strategy has changed the security landscape and attributed the relative quiet to recent US military strikes against Iran and ongoing diplomatic involvement across the region. He said that the stability operation is a component of a larger plan to stop further bloodshed in Gaza and reduce the power of armed organizations that are antagonistic to US partners.
Regarding the nations sending troops, Trump said, “They want to see peace.” He implied that the international presence was aiding in stabilizing efforts after months of violence and discouraging more conflicts.
With Gaza at the epicenter of overlapping problems involving Israel, Palestinian groups, Iran, Hezbollah, and instability in Syria, the Middle East continues to be a major focus of US foreign policy. Concerns over civilian deaths, humanitarian access, and the possibility of a larger regional escalation have brought the issue ongoing worldwide attention.
Trump’s comments coincide with Washington’s ongoing tight coordination with partners and friends as it pushes for security measures that it claims can avert a return to bloodshed. The government has underlined the need of international participation in post-conflict stabilization, especially in areas where protracted fighting has undermined security and governance frameworks.
India, which has extensive relations with Israel and important Arab nations, has kept a careful eye on events in Gaza and the surrounding area, advocating for moderation, civilian protection, and unhindered humanitarian aid while encouraging communication and diplomatic solutions.
