"Israel's Proposal for Arab-Led Peacekeeping Force in Gaza Sparks Controversy"

Israel is reportedly in talks with the United States to establish a peacekeeping force in Gaza, potentially including soldiers from three Arab nations. The force, funded by the US, aims to stabilize the region after the recent conflict and facilitate aid for reconstruction and humanitarian assistance. However, the Biden Administration is hesitant to approve any plans until commitments on a two-state solution are made, and Israel's position remains unclear as they prefer to wait until Hamas is defeated and hostages are released. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has signaled his intention to continue advancing the project in talks with American counterparts.

Navigating the Consequences: Potential Outcomes of an Israeli 'Victory' in Gaza

As Israel continues its military campaign in Gaza with the goal of destroying Hamas, there is growing concern about what would follow a potential Israeli "victory." Israel has not defined what victory looks like or made plans for governing Gaza after the conflict. Direct Israeli administration is unlikely due to resentment and hostility, while the Palestinian Authority is seen as weak and corrupt. The idea of an international peacekeeping force is wishful thinking. Regional powers may have a self-interest in investing in Gaza's future, but there is no indication they would want to take on the expense and political exposure of running the territory. Many fear that hardline Israelis want to empty Gaza of Palestinians entirely, leading to accusations of ethnic cleansing. The Israeli military admits it has no answer for how to fight this war without radicalizing a new generation of young Palestinians.

UN Security Council Demands Immediate Action to Combat Haiti's Escalating Gang Violence

The UN Security Council has given Secretary-General Antonio Guterres 30 days to present options for combating Haiti's armed gangs, including the possibility of a UN peacekeeping force and a non-UN multinational force. The resolution also calls for additional training for the Haitian National Police, support to combat illegal arms trafficking, and the deployment of an international specialized force. The situation in Haiti has worsened since the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse, with gangs now estimated to control up to 80% of the capital. The resolution also urges countries to prohibit the supply of weapons to those supporting gang violence and criminal activities and calls for a Haitian-led political process to establish free and fair elections.

The ongoing conflict between Serbia and Kosovo: A history of violence and tension.

30 NATO-led peacekeeping troops were injured in clashes with ethnic Serbs in northern Kosovo, where the Serbs tried to take over the offices of one of the municipalities where ethnic Albanian mayors took up their posts last week. The violence was the latest incident as tensions soared over the past weekend when ethnic Serbs in northern Kosovo tried to block recently elected ethnic Albanian officials from entering municipal buildings. Kosovo and Serbia have been foes for decades, with Belgrade refusing to recognize Kosovo's 2008 sovereignty.

NATO peacekeepers face violence amid Kosovo-Serbia tensions.

Tensions between Serbia and Kosovo have escalated after violent scenes in the town of Zvecan, where dozens of people were injured, including about 30 members of Nato's KFOR peacekeeping force. Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vucic, blamed Kosovo's prime minister, Albin Kurti, for the disturbances, while Kurti claimed the protesters were "a bunch of extremists under the direction of official Belgrade". The situation highlights the unresolved issues between Kosovo's ethnic Serb minority and the majority Albanian government in Pristina. The EU and US have spent much of the past year trying to push Belgrade and Pristina towards a normalisation agreement.
