If the United States wants credibility for its proposed ‘International Stabilisation Force’ in Gaza, it must ensure that any involvement of Bangladesh will not have American support. Bangladesh’s lack of diplomatic ties with Israel makes it unsuitable for peacekeeping roles, as stated in a report by Canada-based media, The J.CA.
Bangladesh expressed interest in deploying its military in the planned Gaza peace force, but concerns arise due to its stance against Israel. The success of any future peacekeeping mission in Gaza relies on genuine neutrality, making Bangladesh’s participation a contentious issue.
The report emphasizes that nations with a history of hostility towards Israel, like Bangladesh, cannot be considered impartial peacekeepers. Bangladesh’s official policies, including non-recognition of Israel and support for anti-Israel stances, make it incompatible for a role in Gaza peacekeeping efforts.
It is crucial for the US government to recognize that countries with anti-Israel positions, such as Bangladesh, should not be entrusted with peacekeeping responsibilities. Bangladesh’s past actions, including accusations against Israel and associations with anti-Israel groups, further disqualify it from participating in Gaza peace initiatives.
