The United States plans to build a huge military base in Gaza
At a cost of about half a billion dollars, the United States plans to establish a military base in the Gaza Strip.Arab Defense website - November 11, 2025: The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth revealed, citing Israeli sources, that the American base will be established on the Gaza border, and will be able to accommodate several thousand soldiers, with the aim of maintaining the ceasefire. In recent weeks, the United States has worked with the Israeli government and military to push the issue forward, and has even begun studying potential al-Qaeda sites. A security source said: "This indicates the extent of their insistence on engaging in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict".
The Shomrim website also revealed that the United States plans to establish a large military base in the Gaza Strip. Israeli sources who have seen the initial plans indicate that the base is intended for international forces that will work in the Gaza Strip to maintain the ceasefire, and that it will be able to accommodate several thousand soldiers. Its construction budget is expected to reach about half a billion dollars. Over the past weeks, the Americans worked to advance the file with the Israeli government and army, and also began studying potential sites in the Gaza Strip.
A security source who spoke to “Shomrim” says that the difficulty of exaggerating the importance of establishing the base lies in the fact that Israel, since the Six-Day War, has done everything in its power to reduce international interference in the territories. The source adds that establishing the base and deploying forces in Israeli territory shows the extent of the Americans’ insistence on getting involved in Gaza and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Investing in a similar base outside the United States may also have domestic consequences, as many members of the Republican Party oppose expanding American military intervention abroad.
Until now, the US military presence in Israel has been largely limited. After signing the ceasefire agreement, the United States sent about 200 soldiers to Israel, currently operating from the American Command Center in Kiryat Gat (CMCC). In addition, during the war the Americans deployed a THAAD missile battery in Israel that helped intercept Iranian missiles.
The planned base will join US moves that have already curtailed Israel's freedom of action in the Strip, particularly on the issue of bringing humanitarian aid into Gaza, which Israel has used as a means of pressuring Hamas. According to Israeli sources, the US center in Kiryat Gat is expected to take full control of the distribution of humanitarian aid, leaving Israel with only a marginal role through the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT). US control over aid management was first reported in The Washington Post.
“The CMCC in Kiryat Gat will be responsible for most of the activity in Gaza, and Israel’s status as a major actor in the Strip will change,” Dr. Michael Milstein, senior researcher at the Dayan Center at Tel Aviv University and former head of the Palestinian Affairs Department at the Military Intelligence Service, told The Guardian.
The “Shomrim” website tried to obtain a response from the US Embassy in Israel regarding the plan, and the embassy referred the matter to the US Department of War, which in turn referred the issue to the US Central Command (CENTCOM). So far, no response has been received from the Central Command on the matter.
