  "summary": "Uganda has authorized the deployment of its forces to the Gaza Strip as part of an international stabilization force. The country's parliament voted to approve the deployment, which is part of a multinational security force proposed under a US-backed ceasefire plan.\n\nThe plan, backed by US President Donald Trump, aims to bring peace to the enclave. According to Uganda's Defence Minister Kiryowa Kiwanuka, Trump had contacted Uganda's President through emissaries regarding the deployment.\n\nThe Gaza Strip has seen ongoing violence, with at least 1,230 Palestinians, mostly civilians, killed in Israeli strikes since the peace plan was agreed in October, according to Gaza health authorities. The situation has been condemned by Arab and Islamic countries, who warn that the attacks threaten efforts to implement the second phase of the internationally backed plan to end the war.",
