https://www.timesofisrael.com/us-security-firm-hiring-special-forces-veterans-to-staff-key-gaza-checkpoint/A small US security firm is hiring nearly 100 US special forces veterans to help run a checkpoint in Gaza during the Israel-Hamas ceasefire, according to a company spokesperson and a recruitment email seen by Reuters, introducing armed American contractors into the heart of one of the world’s most violent conflict zones.
UG Solutions — a low-profile company founded in 2023 and based in Davidson, North Carolina — is offering a daily rate starting at $1,100 with a $10,000 advance to veterans it hires, the email said.
They will staff the checkpoint at a key intersection in Gaza’s interior, said the spokesperson, who confirmed the authenticity of the email.

UG Solutions’ role in the ceasefire deal has been reported, but the email disclosed previously unknown details including the aim of recruiting 96 veterans exclusively with US special operations forces backgrounds, the pay and the types of weapons they will carry.
Reuters reported on January 7 that Emirati officials had suggested the use of private contractors as part of a post-war peacekeeping force in Gaza, and that the idea had caused concern among Western nations.
The deployment of armed US contractors in Gaza, where Hamas remains a potent force after 14 months of war sparked by its October 7, 2023, invasion and massacre in southern Israel, is unprecedented and poses the risk that Americans could be drawn into fighting as President Donald Trump’s administration seeks to keep the Hamas-Israel conflict from reigniting.
