WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Monday said the International Stabilization Force for Gaza is already running and that more countries would be added.
“I think that, in a form, it’s already running,” Trump said in the Oval Office. “More and more countries are coming into it. They’re already in but they’ll send any number of troops that I ask them to send.” 

Trump said his administration was looking into whether Israel violated the Gaza ceasefire by killing a Hamas leader on Saturday.
