Israel is currently barring vetted Palestinian recruits for a new Gaza police force from leaving the Gaza Strip to undergo training in Egypt. Out of 283,000 applicants, 16,500 individuals have been approved to serve on the police force, which is tied to a new technocratic government.

Despite having passed the vetting process, these approved recruits still require permission to exit the territory in order to complete their required training abroad, according to statements from Board of Peace officials.
