JAKARTA - The United States (US) mediator in negotiations with Hamas, Bishara Bahbah, estimates that Indonesian troops will be stationed in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, while units from other countries will be responsible for other areas in the region.

The first group of troops included in the International Stabilization Force is likely to be sent to the Gaza Strip in early April, the Asharq Al-Awsat news portal reported, citing Bahbah.

"As far as I know, the first group of troops as part of this force will enter Gaza in early April, and a larger contingent will be deployed next month," Bahbah said, quoted by Sputnik, Friday, February 27.

He also conveyed the hope that with the deployment of international contingents in Gaza, the violation of the ceasefire by the Zionist Israel would end.

Bahbah said the newly formed National Committee for Gaza Administration would also be able to enter the area after the stabilization forces arrived, as it would obtain the necessary security guarantees.

The International Stabilization Force is expected to consist of around 20 thousand military personnel and 12 thousand police from countries participating in the Gaza Board of Peace.

The city of Rafah in the southern part of the Gaza Strip is said to be the initial location for the deployment of the mission.
