The British newspaper The Guardian reported that Israel is refusing to allow the advancement of a project to establish an advanced military site in the Gaza Strip for the Peace Council, established by US President Donald Trump.
In early August last year, the Peace Council, an international body mandated by the United Nations in 2025 and chaired by the US President, issued its first construction contract in Gaza, awarding the task to Arc International, a company based in Louisiana, USA, to build an advanced military site capable of accommodating 150 international soldiers, serving as the vanguard of an international stabilization force.
Two months later, Israel continues to refuse permission to execute the contract, according to a source directly involved in the matter. Contractors and trucks are not allowed to enter Gaza to begin work. The source stated that “Israel will not open the crossing,” as reported by the German News Agency (DPA).
The Israeli war in Gaza is one of eight conflicts that Trump claims he has successfully resolved. He reiterated this last week in a lengthy social media post, in which he complained about what he considered an injustice against him for not being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
According to The Guardian, the Peace Council, established following the ceasefire in Gaza in October 2025, forms a central pillar in Trump’s claims that he has ended the conflict.
