On June 24, 2026, the first elements of the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces (FAR) officially joined the international stabilization force deployed in the Gaza Strip. This deployment is part of a broader multinational effort to maintain peace and security following the recent ceasefire agreement.
According to official statements from the Moroccan government, the contingent includes military engineers, medical personnel, and logistics specialists. Their primary mission is to support humanitarian aid distribution and infrastructure reconstruction in the region.
The international stabilization force, authorized by the United Nations Security Council, includes troops from several countries. Morocco's participation underscores its longstanding commitment to regional stability and its role as a mediator in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Local authorities in Gaza have welcomed the deployment, noting that the presence of international forces has already contributed to a reduction in tensions. The FAR units are expected to remain in the area for an initial period of six months, with possible extensions based on the security situation.
