The International Stabilization Force (ISF) is a peacekeeping mission, comprising armed personnel from several countries, tasked with training a new Palestinian police force and working toward disarming Hamas. It was authorized by the United Nations Security Council in November 2025 as part of a comprehensive ceasefire plan for the Israel-Hamas War and is subject to the command of the Board of Peace.
