PRISTINA: Kosovo and Bosnia on Friday announced they were prepared to deploy small numbers of soldiers to Gaza as part of a peacekeeping force proposed by US President Donald Trump.
Kosovo's parliament unanimously approved a law authorising the deployment on Friday with media reports saying it intends to send 22 members of the security forces if the plan goes ahead, although the number has not been officially confirmed.
"The Republic of Kosovo proves that it is a reliable partner and ready to act alongside allies in support of peace, security, protection of civilians and implementation of international mandates," Defence Minister Ejup Maqedonci said ahead of the vote.
As for Bosnia, Defence Minister Zukan Helez has said more than 60 Bosnian soldiers are expected to join.
Bosnia's three-member presidency had previously approved the potential deployment in January.
