US to Build Military Base in Gaza, Apparently for 'Oversight'
While Gaza is flattened and its population displaced, the US announces plans for a military base to 'oversee post-war efforts.' This comes just months after President Biden signed off an additional $14.5 billion in aid to Israel, despite bipartisan calls for a ceasefire. One might reasonably wonder if 'oversight' here means enforcing the outcomes of a war heavily funded and politically enabled by
the very nation now installing itself as the region's new landlord. After all, when has a US military base ever truly been temporary? This 'post-war plan' looks suspiciously like a permanent fixture. It's a template we've seen before—from Iraq to Afghanistan—where 'stabilization' often means indefinite presence and perpetual conflict. The American public, weary of endless wars, is routinely sold
on 'humanitarian' interventions that somehow always leave behind fortified US positions. The real 'plan' for Gaza, it appears, is less about peace for Palestinians and more about strategic positioning for Washington and its allies.
