Kosovo has officially joined the International Stabilization Force (ISF) operating to advance a peace plan in the Gaza Strip. An agreement signed on September 7 in Pristina formalizes Kosovo's participation, committing the nation to support the implementation of a 20-point peace plan proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump.
The signing ceremony was attended by Kosovo's Minister of Defense, Armend Mehaj, Kosovo Security Force Commander Lieutenant General Gjon Haxhi, and ISF Commander Major General Jasper Jeffers. The agreement outlines Kosovo's integration into the international framework aimed at establishing the necessary security and civilian conditions for the plan's execution in Gaza.
Kosovo's official involvement follows several months of preliminary integration, with Kosovar security personnel already embedded within the ISF headquarters since early spring. Their roles have included planning in logistics, civilian affairs, and ordnance disposal. Kosovo is expected to continue providing personnel and expertise in these areas as part of the international effort to create an infrastructure for Gaza's reconstruction.
Officials from the Gaza Peace Council emphasized that Kosovo's contribution is a significant component of the broader efforts to ensure the security required for long-term rehabilitation. This development occurs amidst international endeavors to implement a ceasefire and advance the next phase of the Gaza plan, which seeks to establish a multinational security mechanism for on-the-ground stability and civilian progress.
Both the Peace Council and the ISF highlighted that cooperation with Kosovo is anticipated to bolster the wider mission for security and stability in Gaza and the region. Their stated goal is to create conditions conducive to comprehensive, long-term reconstruction for Gaza's residents, while also safeguarding the security of Israel and regional nations. The Peace Council expressed gratitude to Kosovo for its commitment, noting the country's demonstrated willingness to participate in international efforts.
