The Peace Board, an entity established under the direction of Donald Trump to oversee reconstruction efforts in Gaza, has reportedly awarded its first construction contract within the Palestinian territory. The awarded project involves the establishment of a temporary military base intended to house approximately 150 personnel, who are expected to be stationed there by Moroccan soldiers. According to reports from The Guardian, while the details of the contract have not been fully confirmed, the agreement was reportedly granted to Arkel International, an American company that has previously managed projects for the U.S.
government in nations such as Iraq. The Peace Board’s leadership structure includes Trump, alongside Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff. While a committee official indicated that several other contracts are currently in the final stages of preparation, no further agreements have been finalized as of yet.
The planned military base is slated for construction in an area currently under control. This initial contract marks a significant step in the scope of the broader reconstruction initiative. The awarded deal pertains to developing infrastructure necessary for the temporary military presence.
Observers note that the process suggests a phased approach to rebuilding, with each contract representing a distinct component of the overall reconstruction plan for the region. The awarding of this specific contract highlights the immediate focus on establishing secure facilities for international personnel.
