Senator Marco Rubio said U.S. officials are gathering input on a potential international agreement to authorise a multinational force in Gaza and will discuss the issue in Qatar on Sunday.

“Many of the countries that have expressed an interest in participating at some level — whether it be monetary or personnel or both — are going to need that because their domestic laws require it,”

Rubio told reporters traveling on his plane between Israel and Qatar en route to Asia.

“So we have a whole team working on that outline of it.”

The Trump administration is seeking contributions from Arab states, both in funding and personnel, for a multinational force aimed at maintaining stability in Gaza. Israel has expressed opposition to the participation of Turkish forces in such an operation.
