Gaza

The Guardian -  The Trump administration is planning to build a 5,000-person military base in southern Gaza, sprawling more than 350 acres and ringed with watch towers and barbed wired, according to Board of Peace contracting records seen by the Guardian.

The site is envisioned as a military operating base for a future International Stabilization Force (ISF), planned as a multinational military force composed of pledged troops. The ISF is part of the newly created Board of Peace, chaired by Donald Trump and led in part by his son-in-law Jared Kushner, which is meant to govern Gaza. It has faced criticism about its funding and governance, and major European allies have declined to join the group.
