Report: America Plans to Establish a Large Military Base in the Gaza Strip

SadaNews translation: Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper revealed that the United States plans to establish a large military base in the Gaza Strip, to be used by international forces that will operate there to maintain the ceasefire.

According to the Hebrew site, informed Israeli sources on the initial plans reported that the base will accommodate thousands of soldiers.

It is expected that the budget for its construction will be around half a billion dollars.

According to the report: "In recent weeks, the Americans have been working to advance this matter with the Israeli government and army, and have started to study potential sites in the Gaza Strip."

This step represents an unprecedented development in American policy towards Gaza, especially given Israel's long history of hesitance regarding any permanent international presence in Palestinian territories.

According to security sources speaking to the "Shomrim" site, the establishment of this base reflects a clear American determination to play a direct role in managing the security situation in Gaza, and perhaps in reshaping the regional balances in the post-war phase.
