Thin on the right so far

Only 4 of the 27 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated right.

This story is still being watched, so it is a count and not yet a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. If it is still true when we stop checking, we will say so plainly.

Uganda’s parliament approved a government motion on 6 August 2026 to deploy troops to Gaza as part of an international force. The motion, brought by the defence minister, marks Uganda’s first public commitment to the mission. Morocco has also pledged troops.

The force, proposed by the U.S. Board of Peace in February 2026, would be led by American Maj. Gen. Jasper Jeffers. It is intended to secure Gaza following the Israel-Hamas war, under a ceasefire deal reached in October 2025. The agreement requires Hamas to disarm and Israel to withdraw its forces in phases.

Israeli attacks have killed 1,250 people since the ceasefire was reached, according to reports. Israel has expressed security concerns about the agreement, which it shared with the U.S.

What the coverage left out

None of the right-rated digests mentioned the 1,250 people killed in Israeli attacks since the ceasefire was reached. The centre-rated digests also omitted this figure. The opposition lawmaker’s question about Uganda’s role in the conflict, reported by the Associated Press, was not carried in any digest outside the left-rated reports.

How each side covered it

Our own reading of the reporting listed below, written from the outlets’ articles rather than quoted from them. The reasoning is set out on our methodology page.

Left

14 rated outlets

  • The 11 left-rated reports led on Uganda’s parliamentary approval and the broader context of the ceasefire deal. The Associated Press, whose full report was printed, included opposition lawmaker Hassan Kirumira’s question about which side Uganda’s troops would support. The AP also reported Defence Minister Kiryowa Kiwanuka’s justification for the deployment, citing Uganda’s peacekeeping experience in Somalia.
  • The left-rated digests carried the figure of 1,250 people killed in Israeli attacks since the ceasefire. They also noted Israel’s security concerns over the agreement. The AP report quoted Maj. Gen. Jasper Jeffers’ statement that the force would ensure “future prosperity and enduring peace.”

  • The eight centre-rated digests led on Uganda’s parliamentary approval and the force’s proposed size of 20,000 troops. Battlefords NOW, whose full report was printed, stated that the force would be led by Maj. Gen. Jasper Jeffers and noted Morocco’s pledge of troops. None of the centre-rated digests mentioned the 1,250 deaths in Israeli attacks or Israel’s security concerns.

Right

4 rated outlets

  • The three right-rated digests led on Uganda’s approval of the deployment. Daily Sabah described the mission as aimed at securing Gaza “after Israel’s defeat,” a phrase not used by other outlets. Yonhap News Agency framed the deployment as part of a broader African contribution to the force. i24NEWS focused on the force’s deployment to the Gaza border, reporting that detailed instructions had been issued to American soldiers.
  • None of the right-rated digests mentioned the 1,250 deaths in Israeli attacks since the ceasefire, the ceasefire deal’s terms, or Israel’s security concerns.
