Ugandan parliament authorises army deployment to Gaza Uganda’s parliament approved a motion authorising the government to deploy troops to Gaza as part of the International Stabilization Force (ISF). Defence and Veterans Affairs Minister Kiryowa Kiwanuka introduced the motion seeking parliamentary approval to deploy Uganda Peoples’ Defence Forces (UPDF) personnel following an invitation from the US. “Uganda has a strong army with capable organisational structures, which have enabled Uganda to successfully support peace operations in Somalia, South Sudan, the Central African Republic, and various UN peacekeeping missions,” he said. Israel has approved the limited entry of forces from countries it considers friendly. Irreversible political process Some lawmakers warned that deploying the UPDF to Gaza could raise diplomatic concerns because Uganda and Palestine are members of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).
