Kosovo has signed an agreement to take part in the newly established International Stabilization Force for Gaza, completing a process that began with a parliamentary decision in April.
Representatives of Kosovo, the US-backed Board of Peace and the International Stabilization Force signed the Participating Country Agreement at a ceremony in Pristina. The Board of Peace said Kosovo would provide โcritical supportโ for the mission, which aims to advance US President Donald Trumpโs 20-point peace plan for Gaza.
The signing largely serves as formal ratification of a decision already taken. Kosovoโs parliament approved the governmentโs plan to send military personnel to the force in April.
Five countries have so far committed military personnel: Indonesia, Morocco, Kazakhstan, Kosovo and Albania. Egypt and Jordan have separately pledged to help train police forces.
No official timetable exists for deploying troops to Gaza. Key questions about the forceโs organization and operational structure remain open.
