In addition to accusations of ceasefire noncompliance in Gaza, Mansour also alleged Israel has exercised policies "aimed at undermining the PA politically, financially, and militarily."

For now, training for the force’s deployment to Gaza has not yet begun, and efforts are still underway to secure the extensive funding required for ISF operations in the Strip.

Israel’s UN ambassador, Danny Danon, says the ISF is meant to disarm Hamas and avoid further conflict, even as questions remain about whether states will send forces.

Israel’s UN ambassador Danny Danon said there will not be a Palestinian state, calling the UNSC move a narrative rather than enforceable.

The US's relationship with Israel has come under attack from both the American Right and Left. But the alliance benefits both countries, maintaining that it is just a good strategy.

For Israel, Gaza ISF's success is defined by results: the complete disarmament of Hamas and the destruction of its tunnels. Ambassador Danon warns against an ineffective, "Blue Helmet"-style mission.

The US administration has also warned of possible consequences for those who take measures against Israel, including against France, whose president, Emmanuel Macron, is hosting the New York summit.

In an interview with the Post, UN Ambassador Danny Danon said that it was "very sad to see serious leaders taking part in this circus."

If the UN wants to remain relevant and credible, it must stop being a platform for political games and start standing up for the values it was created to uphold 80 years ago.

From the United Nations to Washington’s diplomatic circles, from academic halls to faith-based communities, their influence has been transformational this past year.
