Kosovo Joins US-Led Peace Force in Gaza

Kosovo just approved sending troops to Gaza for a new international security force, backing a U.S.-led push after last year ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. This comes as part of President Trump's Border Peace Plan for a transitional administration there. For other countries have already committed, like Indonesia, Morocco, Kazakhstan, and Albania, all pitching in to help keep the peace. Kosovo's Prime Minister Al-Bankerti explained, they're stepping up because their own country benefited from international forces back in 1999, and they see this as a way to pay afford. As a small Balkan nation of 1.6 million people and a close U.S. ally since independence from Serbia in 2008, it makes sense for them. The defense ministry got the official U.S. invite back in December, and they has shed out in a televised meeting on March 30th without spilling.
