US Central Command hosts conference in Doha on 16 December with partner countries to develop plan to establish international force to stabilise Gaza, two US officials say.
More than 25 countries expected to send representatives to conference, which includes sessions on command structure and other issues related to force in Gaza.

Reuters earlier reports US officials say international forces could deploy in Gaza as early as next month to form UN-authorised stabilisation force, though disarming Hamas remains unclear.
Officials say stabilisation force does not fight Hamas, adding many countries interest in contributing. US officials work on defining size, structure, basing, training and rules of engagement.

Indonesia says ready to deploy up to 20,000 troops for health and construction tasks in Gaza.
UN Security Council authorises international force to operate alongside recently trained and vetted Palestinian police to ensure security stability by guaranteeing disarmament of Gaza Strip, including destruction of military infrastructure, preventing its rebuilding and permanently disarming non-state Palestinian factions. Method of implementation remains unclear.

Deployment of force forms key part of next phase of US President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan. Under first phase, ceasefire in two-year war begins on 10 October, with Hamas releasing detainees and Israel freeing Palestinian prisoners.
