Moroccan Soldiers Begin to Arrive in Israel for Gaza Peacekeeping
(Wall Street Journal) Feliz Solomon - President Trump's peace plan for Gaza envisioned 20,000 international peacekeepers to prevent the re-emergence of Hamas as a military power. An initial group of 10-20 Moroccan soldiers are training near Gaza's border in Israel before beginning limited operations, and more are expected. The second phase of the peace plan required Hamas to disarm and transfer power to a Palestinian technocratic council. Then the peacekeepers would move in. But Hamas refuses to disarm. Rebuilding hasn't yet begun, billions of dollars pledged for reconstruction haven't materialized, and initial offers of troops have been held back.
