Israel has refused to permit construction of a military outpost designed to house 150 international troops as part of Donald Trump's Board of Peace initiative, the Guardian reported. The base was intended to serve as a key facility for the U.S.-led project in Gaza.
No Israeli explanation for the decision has been made public. The blocked outpost represents a significant obstacle to implementing the peace board's operational framework in the territory.
