Kosovo has taken another step onto the international security stage, signing a document to join the U.S.-led International Stabilization Force for Gaza and pledging support for President Donald Trump’s 20-point peace plan.
PRISTINA, Sept. 7 — Kosovo has signed a document confirming its participation in the International Stabilization Force, or ISF, for Gaza, according to a statement cited by The Jerusalem Post.
The document was signed in Pristina by U.S. Major General Jasper Jeffers, who leads the ISF mission, and Lieutenant General Bashkim Jashari, commander of the Kosovo Security Force.
Representatives of the Gaza Board of Peace and the ISF also attended the ceremony.
According to the Board of Peace, Kosovo will provide what it described as “critical support” to the mission implementing U.S. President Donald Trump’s 20-point peace plan for Gaza.
The announcement marks a significant development for Kosovo, which has sought to deepen its security partnership with the United States and expand its role in international peace and stabilization missions.
The precise scope of Kosovo’s contribution was not detailed in the report.
It was also not immediately clear whether Kosovo’s role would involve troops, logistics, training, medical support or another form of assistance.
The announcement comes as the ISF is being positioned as an international mechanism intended to support stabilization efforts in Gaza.
Kosovo’s participation would give Pristina a visible role in a U.S.-backed mission outside the Balkans, reinforcing its broader effort to present itself as a contributor to Western-led security initiatives.
The signing also carries political symbolism.
Kosovo remains outside the United Nations and is not recognized by several countries, including Serbia, Russia and China. Participation in multinational security operations has therefore become one of the ways Pristina seeks to strengthen its international profile and partnerships.
For Kosovo, the mission may also deepen already close ties with Washington, which has played a central role in the country’s security and foreign policy orientation since the 1999 war.
Further details on the size, mandate and timing of Kosovo’s contribution have yet to be announced.
