Jerusalem: (RightNow) Israel has halted the construction of a proposed US military base in Gaza under President Donald Trump’s peace plan. The entry of construction materials and contractors into Gaza has been blocked, preventing work from starting.

The report states that the base would accommodate 150 international troops. It is considered a first step towards deploying an international stabilization force.

Israel has refused to open the border crossing, hindering the arrival of machinery and workers. An American company was awarded the contract two months ago, but construction is stalled.

This project is crucial for the security arrangements of the peace plan in Gaza. The obstacles in building the base raise questions about the future of peace efforts.

It is noteworthy that the peace board was established in Gaza after a ceasefire in October 2025. This is part of Donald Trump’s efforts related to Gaza.
