The administration of US President Donald Trump is reportedly planning the construction of a large military base in the Gaza Strip to host a future international stabilisation force, according to contracting records reviewed by The Guardian.
The proposed site would span more than 350 acres and accommodate up to 5,000 personnel. It is intended to serve as an operational hub for a multinational force under the framework of the Peace Council, the body established to oversee Gaza’s post-war administration.
The council is chaired by Trump, with his son-in-law Jared Kushner said to be involved in its leadership.

Plans reviewed by the newspaper reportedly include the phased construction of a fortified military compound measuring approximately 1,400 by 1,100 metres. The site would feature 26 armoured observation towers mounted on trailers, a small-arms firing range, underground bunkers, storage facilities for military equipment and perimeter fencing reinforced with barbed wire.
According to the report, the base would be built in a sparsely populated plain in southern Gaza. The Guardian said it had viewed video footage of the area and cited a source familiar with the planning process who indicated that a limited number of international construction firms with experience in conflict zones have already conducted site visits.
The proposal comes amid broader efforts to establish a UN-mandated stabilisation force to oversee reconstruction and security arrangements in Gaza following months of Israeli genocide.
