Kosovo signs up to US-led Gaza stabilisation force
Balkan state joins short list of countries agreeing to send peacekeepers to Palestinian enclave.
Kosovo has agreed to join the short list of countries signing up to join the International Stabilization Force (ISF) in Gaza.
The small Muslim-majority Balkan nation signed on Monday a formal agreement to join the United Nations-mandated force, according to a social media post by the United States-backed Board of Peace.
“Representatives of the Republic of Kosovo, the Board of Peace & the International Stabilization Force signed the Participating Country Agreement for the inclusion of Kosovo in the ISF,” the post said.
Israel’s government approved key legal measures to allow for the entry of the ISF to Gaza in July, with an official saying the force will operate “in full coordination with” the Israeli military, according to the Times of Israel.
