EU considers training 3,000 Palestinian police officers from Gaza

SUMMARY

European Union foreign ministers will discuss a proposal to train 3,000 Palestinian police officers for future deployment in Gaza. This initiative is part of a broader 20-point plan for Gaza proposed by former President Donald Trump. Recently, Israel and Hamas agreed on the first phase of this plan, but further implementation is uncertain.

The proposal suggests expanding EU missions that support the Palestinian Authority's policing and justice reforms. The EU aims to train these officers to enhance the entire Palestinian police force of 13,000. Additionally, there is a suggestion to expand the EU's civilian border monitoring mission in Rafah. However, the future of these initiatives remains uncertain with recent competing proposals from Russia at the U.N.
