Uganda's parliament voted in early August 2026 (reported August 7) to approve sending troops to join the UN-mandated International Stabilization Force (ISF) for Gaza, joining Morocco, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Indonesia and Albania in pledging soldiers, but as of the market's August 14 deadline no ISF troops had actually deployed into Gaza. The force, outlined in the October 2025 Israel-Hamas peace framework, is intended to provide security, help train a Palestinian police force, and oversee demilitarization once a phased Israeli troop withdrawal is complete, but that withdrawal timeline remained unresolved and contributing countries were still finalizing legal and logistical arrangements. Israel had approved the force's entry into Gaza in principle in late July, but that approval and individual countries' legislative sign-offs are preparatory steps distinct from an actual troop deployment. The community unanimously predicted no deployment by the deadline, with 0% forecasting Yes, and the outcome matched that expectation.
