The President announced a “historic” deal to disarm Hamas as part of the latest framework of a peace plan first

KAMPALA, Aug 6 (Reuters) - Uganda's parliament on Thursday voted to approve the deployment of its military to the Gaza Strip, if it was needed as part of a multinational security force proposed under U.

The UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Egypt, Jordan, Indonesia and Turkiye issued a joint declaration alleging Israel's military campaign in Gaza violates international law and threatens efforts to implement the next phase of Donald Trump's peace framework.

On the face of it, US President Donald Trump’s announcement that Hamas, and all other armed groups in Gaza, have agreed to disarm seems historic.

President Trump said Hamas and his international "Board of Peace" have agreed on the next steps in a peace deal that includes Hamas' disarmament in the Gaza Strip.

The proposed base, about an hour from the Israeli border, would reportedly house a contingent of Moroccan troops, who would rotate from a base in Israel

The motion, moved by Defence and Veteran Affairs Minister Kiryowa Kiwanuka on behalf of the government under Section 38 of the UPDF Act, seeks Parliament’s approval for President Museveni to deploy Ugandan troops outside the country for a peacekeeping mission.
