This market will resolve to “Yes” if active regular US military personnel physically enter Gaza by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. US military personnel must physically enter the terrestrial territory of the Gaza Strip to qualify. Entering the maritime territory, as occurred during the US’s attempt to construct a floating pier in 2024, or entering the airspace will not qualify. US military personnel entering buffer zones under control of Israel will not qualify. High ranking U.S. service members entering Gaza for diplomatic purposes (and their accompanying entourage), military contractors, military advisors, and special operation forces will not qualify. The resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.**US officials have repeatedly and explicitly ruled out deploying American troops into Gaza itself, instead positioning roughly 200 US service members in southern Israel at a Civil-Military Coordination Center to monitor the ceasefire, coordinate humanitarian aid, and support planning for an International Stabilization Force (ISF) drawn from other nations.** This stance has been consistent across Pentagon, CENTCOM, and White House statements through 2025–2026, including direct assurances from Vice President JD Vance that there will be “no American boots on the ground in Gaza.” The ISF—intended to handle security, demilitarization support, and stabilization under a US-brokered plan—relies on troop contributions from countries such as Indonesia, Morocco, Albania, and Kosovo, with the US providing coordination, funding (including $206 million notified in July 2026), and logistical support rather than ground forces. Progress on the broader Trump administration Gaza peace framework has stalled amid resistance from Israel and Hamas, with even limited foreign deployments facing delays and the plan remaining largely deadlocked as of early September 2026. No recent developments indicate a shift in Washington’s policy against US troop entry into the territory before the end of 2026, supporting the strong trader consensus reflected in the 91.5% “No” price.
