Trump: Forces to be deployed in Gaza "very soon"

US President Donald Trump says he expects an international force to be in place in Gaza "very soon".

The international force, coordinated by the United States, is part of Trump's plan for how Gaza will be governed after the war. Among other things, the force's tasks are expected to be to train Palestinian police, secure border areas and prevent arms smuggling to the terrorist group Hamas.

According to Trump, the force will arrive in Gaza in the near future.

It will happen very soon, Trump said at a meeting at the White House on Thursday local time.

I can tell you that we have countries that have offered to help if there are problems with Hamas.

Egypt, Qatar, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates, among others, are expected to contribute to the force.
