"The Board of Peace is going to almost be looking over the United Nations and making sure it runs properly," Trump claimed in Thursday remarks during the inaugural meeting of the panel in Washington.Apart from that controversy, the biggest Board of Peace development is being reported in The Guardian, which says Trump is advancing plans for a major US military installation inside the Gaza Strip, envisioned as the "military operating base" for future international forces.
While unconfirmed, the report outlines "the phased construction of a military outpost that will eventually have a footprint of 1,400 meters by 1,100 meters, ringed by 26 trailer-mounted armored watch towers, a small arms range, bunkers, and a warehouse for military equipment for operations" - with the entire compound enclosed by barbed wire. It would reportedly house 5,000 personnel.
The proposed site is to be located in southern Gaza, according to more: "A small group of bidders – international construction companies with experience in war zones – have already been shown the area in a site visit."
