An X user @ElegantiaeArbit posted on February 21, 2026, at approximately 11:30 AM UTC that 'Albanians are occupying half of Gaza,' linking Kosovo as 'the cradle of peace' exporting stability to Israel, according to the post within the reporting window from 11:15:38 AM to 11:45:31 AM UTC. No official confirmation appears in the sources. The post states 'Kosovo the cradle of peace exports stability to Israel. So good,' amid ongoing regional tensions including prior Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon that killed Hamas and Hezbollah members, as reported in earlier statements today. This unverified claim references Albanian presence in Gaza without specifying identities, numbers, or locations. No Albanian or Kosovo government officials have addressed the statement, and it follows U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee's endorsement of Greater Israel earlier this morning between 9:45 AM and 11:15 AM UTC, per prior reports. Hamas in Lebanon identified two members killed in an Ein el-Hilweh strike yesterday, while IDF airstrikes eliminated Hezbollah operatives in Lebanon's Beqaa Valley overnight into February 21.
