The motion was brought by the defence minister on Thursday, August 6. It is Uganda’s first public indication that it may join the mission. Morocco has also pledged troops. The force was proposed in February by US President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace and would be led by American Maj Gen Jasper Jeffers.

The force is expected to deploy after a phased Israeli withdrawal and Hamas disarmament under a recently announced deal. ## Coverage - siasat.com Tags: Gaza, international force, Israel Hamas war, Uganda Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/uganda-parliament-approves-troops-for-proposed-gaza-force/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
