Kosovo's Parliament has approved a government decision to commit dozens of its security troops to an International Stabilization Force (ISF) for Gaza. This U.S.-backed initiative, part of Donald Trump's 'Board of Peace', aims to maintain peace and assist in rebuilding Gaza Strip following a ceasefire. Kosovo's Defense Minister Ejup Maqedonci stated that this move signifies Kosovo's transition from a security consumer to a security provider, acknowledging the support it received from NATO (NATO) peacekeepers after its 1998-99 conflict with Serbia. Indonesia, Albania, and Kazakhstan are also participating in the ISF. Tensions between Kosovo and Serbia persist, with Serbia not recognizing Kosovo's independence, while the United States and most European Union countries do. Russia and China support Serbia's claim.
