| 2025-11-13 |
Responding to this story from two days ago. [IsraelTimes] The White House flatly denies a report that the US is planning to establish a large military base in Israel near the Gaza border for use by international forces that would operate inside the Strip to maintain the ceasefire there.“This article was based on a single piece of paper — an inquiry that somebody in the Department of Navy made about an idea that may happen in the future, and this reporter deemed that as an official plan,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt says in response to a question about yesterday’s Ynet report. “I checked with the highest levels of the United States federal government. This is not something the United States is interested in being engaged in,” she continues. “Sometimes we see reporters take a piece of paper like this and just deem it as official policy, and sometimes that misleads people a little bit.” |
