Morocco signed an agreement on Wednesday to participate ​in the International Stabilisation Force (ISF) for ‌Gaza, state media reported.

The agreement was signed in Rabat at a meeting attended by Moroccan ​Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita, senior defence ​officials, and Nickolay Mladenov, the Board ⁠of Peace envoy for Gaza, along ​with a delegation including the commander of ​the ISF, the state news agency MAP said.

The agreement “reflects the shared determination to contribute, through concrete ​humanitarian and security actions, to the ​establishment of a climate of peace and security in ‌the region,” MAP quoted a statement from the Moroccan defence administration as saying.

The Gaza Peace Council and ISF leadership welcomed Morocco’s decision to ​join the ​initiative, ⁠citing its planned deployment of senior military officers, gendarmerie and police ​personnel, as well as the ​creation ⁠of a military field hospital, MAP said.

A close US ally, Morocco restored diplomatic ties ⁠with ​Israel in 2020 and ​supports a two-state solution to the Middle East conflict.
