The Multinational Force and Observers (MFO) is an international peacekeeping force overseeing the terms of the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel. The MFO generally operates in and around the Sinai peninsula, ensuring free navigation through the Straits of Tiran and the Gulf of Aqaba, and compliance with the other terms of the Egypt–Israel peace treaty.
The mission of the MFO is:
"... to supervise the implementation of the security provisions of the Egyptian–Israeli Treaty of Peace and employ best efforts to prevent any violation of its terms."
This is accomplished by carrying out four tasks:
Operating checkpoints, observation posts and conducting reconnaissance patrols on the international border as well as within Zone C,
Verification of the terms of the peace treaty not less than twice a month,
Verification of the terms of the peace treaty within 48 hours, upon the request of either party,
Ensuring freedom of international marine navigation in the Strait of Tiran and access to the Gulf of Aqaba
Over the four decades that the MFO has carried out its mission, it has proven a highly successful force. The desire for peace on the part of both Egypt and Israel, combined with the effectiveness of the MFO, has resulted in a durable and lasting state of peace between these two nations
