Uganda Joins International Force for Gaza | Dover News

Uganda’s parliament has approved sending troops to Gaza as part of a new international stabilization force, marking the first time Uganda publicly commits to this mission. Morocco joins Uganda in pledging military support, though questions linger about Uganda’s diplomatic alignment—especially given its OIC membership—and whether its forces might be deployed on either side. Defense officials cite Uganda’s proven peacekeeping experience, like missions in Somalia, to justify the move. The 20,000-strong force, led by U.S. General Jasper Jeffers, is meant to follow Israel’s phased withdrawal from Gaza under a ceasefire deal signed last October, which requires Hamas to disarm and halt militant activity. Yet Israeli security concerns persist, and since the agreement, over 1,250 people have died in Israeli operations—a grim reminder of the ongoing volatility despite formal truces.
