Gaza internal checkpoint to be staffed by US private armed contractors
Briefly

UG Solutions is recruiting nearly 100 US special forces veterans to oversee a checkpoint in Gaza during the Israel-Hamas truce, introducing armed American presence into a volatile conflict zone. Offering competitive compensation of $1,100 daily plus a $10,000 advance, these contractors will be armed with M4 rifles and Glock pistols. Concerns arise regarding their potential engagement in combat, especially with Hamas and local Palestinians, following the suggestion of private contractors for peacekeeping roles as part of a broader strategy to stabilize Gaza.
The deployment of nearly 100 US special forces veterans to Gaza as armed contractors introduces significant risks and unprecedented dynamics in the ongoing conflict.
