DOD in early talks to fund a peacekeeping force in Gaza
U.S. officials have been clear the plan would not include American boots on the ground.

Biden administration officials are in preliminary “conversations” about options for stabilizing post-war Gaza, including a proposal for the Pentagon to help fund either a multinational force or a Palestinian peacekeeping team.

The options being considered would not involve U.S. troops on the ground, according to two Defense Department officials and two other U.S. officials, all granted anonymity to discuss the closed-door diplomatic and military negotiations. Instead, DOD funding would go toward the needs of the security force and complement assistance from other countries.


Asked for comment, a senior administration official said “we are working with partners on various scenarios for interim governance and security structures in Gaza once the crisis recedes,” declining to detail specifics. “We’ve had a number of conversations with both the Israelis and our partners about key elements for the day after in Gaza when the time is right.”

It could be weeks or months before Washington and its partners approve any plan, especially since regional players want to see a commitment to a two-state solution before seriously engaging with the options. There are also questions about the viability of training a potential Palestinian-led force in time to maintain order in Gaza, which has been decimated after five months of brutal fighting.

This is utter bullsh*t.  They may wish that to be the case but history of the US involvements in the 21st century say elsewise. :MiniGun:

When did this happen?

@Timber Rattler 

Works for me.

How about all the Jews who live in America but whose hearts "live" in Israel instead of America donate all their money to Israel,and even go there and don uniforms?

Why get directly involved at all? Make a lend-lease type agreement with Israel and Ukraine, and let them deal with it. Especially in the former case, we'd risk having 'peacekeeping/nationbuilding/whatever they want to call it' forces entangled forever.
Disengage the US from anything to directly do with the conflict besides helping our allies stay armed. We've had well over twenty years, longer if you go back to the Beirut barracks bombing, of involvement, no matter how peripherally. In the meantime, our own border is being overrun. If American blood is to be shed, let it be for our own defense.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

There's already a "peacekeeping force" in Gaza.

It's called the "IDF".

And that ain't no April Fool's day joke.
