Uganda has approved a proposal to deploy forces to the Gaza Strip as part of the planned international force, according to a report by Times of Israel on Thursday.
Times of Israel reported Thursday evening that Uganda has approved sending troops for the international force in Gaza, citing Ugandan media. Uganda's approval is part of ongoing diplomatic efforts to establish an international stabilization presence in Gaza. As The Zioneer has previously reported, Israel has held talks with Uganda, Morocco, and other nations regarding troop contributions, and a political source confirmed that an initial contingent of 200 representatives from Uganda and Morocco would enter Gaza first. The Israeli Security Cabinet authorized the force's legal immunity under the International Organizations Law in July. Details on the scope and timeline of the Ugandan deployment remain unconfirmed.
