WASHINGTON

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Friday commended Kosovo's support for the International Stabilization Force (ISF) in the Gaza Strip.

After meeting with Kosovo’s President Vjosa Osmani Sadriu, Rubio said he thanked her and her people for their commitment to peace and stability by being a founding member of the Board of Peace.

"I also thanked President Osmani for her contributions to the International Stabilization Force in Gaza," Rubio wrote on US social media company X.

Maj. Gen. Jasper Jeffers, the commander of the ISF, announced Thursday that five countries committed troops to serve in the nascent security body.

Speaking at the Board of Peace's inaugural meeting in Washington, DC, Jeffers said Indonesia, Morocco, Kazakhstan, Kosovo and Albania pledged troops, while Egypt and Jordan would train police forces.
