An international security force in Gaza under a cease-fire agreement would have to be made up of countries that Israel is “comfortable with,” U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Oct. 24 during a visit to Israel.
Speaking to the media after visiting the Civil-Military Coordination Center in southern Israel, Rubio said that many countries have offered to be part of the force.
