U.S. President Donald Trump\u2019s Board of Peace said on Sunday that a contingent of Kosovo soldiers had arrived in Israel to join the planned International Stabilization Force (ISF) for the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n
The soldiers \u201cwill support the Gaza security effort in areas such as logistics and civil affairs,\u201d the Board of Peace wrote in an X post.<\/p>\n
The Kosovo contingent joins Moroccan troops who arrived in Israel last month. Albania and Kazakhstan are also expected to contribute personnel.<\/p>\n
The Board of Peace is preparing pilot \u201chumanitarian zones\u201d in southern Gaza to shelter vetted Palestinian civilians outside Hamas control, a source familiar with the details told JNS last week.<\/p>\n
The pilot zones would be administered by the U.S.-backed National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) and secured by multinational troops from the International Stabilization Force, said the source, who is familiar with the planning.<\/p>\n
The source said that after months of planning, requests for proposals had been issued for preparatory work, including an ISF base and a NCAG police camp.<\/p>\n
Under the second phase of Trump\u2019s 20-point peace plan, Hamas terrorists are to cede power, Gaza is to be deradicalized and disarmed<\/a>, and the ISF is to provide security in parts of the Strip currently held by the Israeli military before reconstruction begins.<\/p>\n However, top Hamas leaders, including Khaled Mashaal<\/a> and Musa Abu Marzouk<\/a>, have rejected key parts of Trump\u2019s plan for the next stage in recent months, including disarmament, despite having agreed to the proposal in October 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(July 13, 2026 \/ JNS) U.S. President Donald Trump\u2019s Board of Peace said on Sunday that a contingent…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":538811,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[85,46,43],"class_list":["post-538810","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-israel","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/538810","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=538810"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/538810\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/538811"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=538810"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=538810"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=538810"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
