US and Israeli officials are mulling an international peacekeeping force for the Gaza Strip should Israel successfully remove Hamas from power, Bloomberg reported, suggesting American troops could take part in the deployment.

The two countries have been “exploring options” for Gaza’s future as Israel escalates its ground assault on the Palestinian enclave, including several different peacekeeping arrangements, officials familiar with the discussions told the outlet on Tuesday.

“One option would grant temporary oversight to Gaza to countries from the region, backed by troops from the US, UK, Germany and France. Ideally, it would also include representation from Arab nations such as Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emirates,” Bloomberg reported.

While the officials stressed that the conversations are still in an early stage, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken hinted at the issue in recent comments to lawmakers, suggesting Washington is deeply involved in the planning.

    Yes, the problem is that they aren't occupied by enough countries, and need more countries to occupy them all at the same time, that will fix everything! Though given the current fairly vocal public outcry, I can only imagine it would get even worse if soldiers from their own countries are the ones doing the genocide.

      That's not how criticism works

      Mayos only criticize Israel because most mayos are not Jewish, once their own countries are occupying Palestine they'll suddenly be less bothered by it. IE: nobody talks much about the 5,000 Israels that Europe committed over the last couple centuries
