Kosovo will join the countries that have already contributed troops to the International Stabilization Force, including Indonesia, Morocco, Kazakhstan, and Albania. The mission’s goal is to support peace and the transitional administration in the Gaza Strip under the auspices of U.S. President Donald Trump’s “Peace Council.”
Kosovo’s Prime Minister Albin Kurti noted that the country is ready to participate in the mission and assist the people of Gaza, recalling that Kosovo itself has been a beneficiary of international forces since 1999.
The Kosovo government has not yet announced the exact number of troops that will be deployed to the Gaza Strip.
Earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the United States would lead the International Stabilization Force in post-war Gaza. According to him, the mission is designed to restore order and make the Strip safe for the local population. He made these remarks on Thursday at the first meeting of the Peace Council.
The Trump administration presented its vision of what the Gaza Strip could look like in ten years. Participants in the “Peace Council” initiative pledged to allocate more than $7 billion for the reconstruction of the enclave.
