A report published by the Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom indicates that the United States military has initiated the construction of a significant facility near the perimeter fence of the Gaza Strip. The site is reportedly located in the vicinity of the existing Reim military base in southern Israel.

According to the report, the facility is designed to function as a dual-purpose headquarters, accommodating both military personnel and civilian staff from international organizations working in the region. The report suggests that the base may be intended to support the implementation of the “Trump plan,” a geopolitical framework for the region, and could potentially replace existing infrastructure.

While the report identifies the construction as a U.S.-led project, there has been no official confirmation or detailed statement from the U.S. Department of Defense or the Israeli government regarding the specific purpose, timeline, or scope of the project. The lack of official commentary leaves the exact nature of the base's operations and its long-term strategic role subject to speculation. The report from Israel Hayom remains the primary source of these claims, and no other major international outlets have independently verified the construction or its intended function at this time.
