Uganda and Burundi hold talks on whether to provide troops for a proposed international security force in Gaza, linked to a plan promoted by US President Donald Trump. Military officials from the two countries visit Israel and discuss potential troop roles as part of efforts to support a fragile ceasefire.
Reports say Ugandan and Burundian officials meet Israeli counterparts to review conditions and logistics for participation. One account notes that Uganda is finalising arrangements after its parliament approved the troop contribution earlier this month, and that the delegations coordinate on how forces would be deployed. Other coverage frames the discussions as preparations for East African troop involvement in a US-backed initiative tied to the “Board of Peace” concept.
While both outlets describe the core meetings and the focus on Gaza troop deployment, they emphasize different aspects: one highlights the “Trump-backed peace force” framing, while the other stresses the preparatory nature of the visits and the status of internal approval. Details on the final size, rules of engagement, and timing are not fully provided in the available reporting.
