The Biden administration is actively pursuing a ceasefire and hostage deal in Gaza, indicating potential deployment of a peacekeeping force, though U.S. military involvement is not anticipated. Meanwhile, in Haiti, the U.S. is considering transforming the struggling Kenya-led Multinational Security Support mission into a traditional U.N. peacekeeping operation due to funding issues and inadequate resources. This initiative follows the deployment of 400 Kenyan police officers, with further contingents expected, but there are concerns about the effectiveness of such a force amidst ongoing gang violence. The transition to a U.N. operation would require approval from the Security Council, creating uncertainty given previous opposition from powers like China and Russia. Critics highlight that even the planned 2,500 personnel may not suffice to address the security crisis in Haiti, where the situation remains dire. U.S. officials emphasize the need for broader international support to stabilize Haiti and facilitate humanitarian efforts.
