Kampala (WDN) – Uganda has reportedly agreed in principle to contribute troops to a proposed international peace and stabilization mission in the Gaza Strip following a request from U.S. President Donald Trump, according to reports citing senior military sources.
Uganda’s state-owned newspaper, New Vision , reported that President Yoweri Museveni responded positively to Washington’s request for Kampala to participate in a multinational force expected to support security and post-conflict stabilization efforts in Gaza.
According to the report, the proposed force would operate under the authority of the newly established Peace Council, which has been tasked with supporting the implementation of a ceasefire agreement, maintaining security, and helping prepare Gaza for long-term reconstruction.
The mission’s mandate is expected to include maintaining public order, protecting civilians, facilitating the delivery of humanitarian assistance, and supporting reconstruction efforts after years of devastating conflict that has left much of Gaza in ruins.
