Trump's Peace Council awards Louisiana firm first contract for Moroccan troop base in Gaza

volkskrant.nl (Dutch)

President Trump’s Peace Council has awarded its first Gaza construction contract to a Louisiana company, which will build a military base for 150 Moroccan soldiers, The Guardian reports. An anonymous insider said the Louisiana firm previously did work for the U.S. military in Iraq. The base would house Moroccan troops intended for an international ceasefire-monitoring force. Council members include Rubio, Kushner, and Witkoff; no start date is set. The U.S. wants the council to oversee Gaza’s reconstruction. Implementing the ceasefire has been rocky: Israel demands Hamas disarm before withdrawing, while Hamas conditions disarmament on Israel’s departure.
