Israeli media outlet Jerusalem News Syndicate (JNS) has reported that a contingent of the Kosovo Security Force (KSF) has arrived in Israel to join the International Stabilization Force (ISF), which is expected to operate in the Gaza Strip.
According to the report, KSF personnel will provide support in security efforts through logistics and civil affairs administration rather than combat operations.
The deployment was also confirmed in a statement published on X by the Peace Board of U.S. President Donald Trump, which said:
“Military personnel from Kosovo will support security efforts in Gaza in areas such as logistics and the administration of civil affairs.”
JNS reports that the Kosovo contingent joins Moroccan troops, who arrived in Israel last month, while Albania and Kazakhstan are also expected to contribute personnel to the multinational mission.
According to the Israeli outlet, the International Stabilization Force will be tasked with providing security in planned humanitarian pilot zones in southern Gaza. These zones are intended to shelter vetted Palestinian civilians outside the control of Hamas.
The report adds that the areas will be administered by the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), with U.S. backing, while security will be provided by the multinational ISF.
Citing informed sources, JNS states that, after months of planning, construction has now begun on the International Stabilization Force’s base and the NCAG police camp, marking the next phase of the mission’s implementation.
