Context

What happened: Israel has not permitted a US-led project to build a military outpost in Gaza for 150 international troops, part of Donald Trump's Board of Peace, to move forward. Key numbers: 150 international troops; contract issued in early August; Board of Peace authorized in 2025 by the UN. Why it matters: The outpost was meant to be the vanguard of an international stabilization force, and the block halts that first construction contract for Gaza.
