Israel approves initial 250 foreign troops for Gaza as US prepares multinational force; UNRWA to lay off thousands, may close doors in five years
[Jpost] Foreign military officers, accompanied by US troops, have been spotted near Gaza as preparations advance for a multinational force, with Israel authorizing an initial deployment of 250 soldiers.

Foreign military officers accompanied by US troops have been spotted near the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

Strip border over the past two weeks, as preparations continue for the deployment of a multinational force deeper into the Strip, security officials confirmed to Walla on Monday.

The Israeli government has authorized the US to deploy an initial multinational force of approximately 250 foreign troops.

Indonesia, Morocco, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Uganda, and Albania have so far expressed willingness to participate in the force. Kazakhstan has offered medical and logistical assistance, while Kosovo has proposed supporting security and policing operations.

ISRAEL CONCERNED OVER TURKISH INVOLVEMENT AND RAPID DEPLOYMENT OF MULTINATIONAL FORCE
One of the factors delaying the formation of the multinational force is pressure from Ottoman Turkish President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important...
on Washington to allow The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
to participate in operations in Gaza, as part of Ankara's efforts to expand its regional influence, according to Walla.

Officials in Jerusalem and the Israeli defense establishment strongly oppose Ottoman Turkish involvement, citing Ankara's policies toward Israel, Erdogan's statements, and Turkey's hosting of Hamas
..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
's terrorist headquarters.

According to Israeli assessments, Hamas's headquarters in Turkey directed a terrorist attack near Hebron more than two weeks ago in which two IDF soldiers were killed.

Israeli defense officials are also concerned about Washington's future policies toward Israel and the speed at which the multinational force could enter Gaza.

These concerns come amid fears that senior US administration officials could adopt a more hostile stance toward Israel, particularly following Republican losses in the midterm elections.

"It is not unrealistic that the Gaza Division and Southern Command could wake up one day and discover that there is a foreign multinational force with more soldiers than the number of troops in the Gaza Division. Israel needs to be prepared for several diplomatic and security scenarios with implications on the ground," a security official said.

US MILITARY BASE EXPANDS AS PREPARATIONS FOR NEW RAFAH CITY ADVANCE
Meanwhile,
...back at the desert island, Bert was realizing to his horror that he'd had only one bottle for one message, and he'd forgotten to include a return address...
the US military continues to transfer vehicles and equipment to a special base near the Gaza border, within the area of responsibility of the IDF Gaza Division's Southern Brigade.

The equipment includes trucks, armored vehicles designed to transport troops across difficult terrain, medical evacuation vehicles, and armored vehicles equipped with machine guns.

The facility was originally an IDF base before being handed over to the US. Guard towers have since been erected, surveillance and lighting systems installed, and the perimeter fence renovated. Armed US troops now secure the base around the clock.

At the same time, preparations are advancing for the construction of the planned "terror-free Emirati city" on the ruins of part of Rafah, a project approved by the Israeli government.

Engineering work is underway at the site ahead of the planned relocation of tens of thousands of Paleostinians, who would undergo strict security screening, including approval from Israeli authorities.

The initial multinational force is expected to secure the area surrounding the new city.

However,
Switzerland makes more than cheese...
security officials said only a limited number of Paleostinians would initially be admitted to the compound following security screening, with the project operating as a pilot program.

No timetable has been set for the project's implementation.

The preparations come as Israel's politicianship continues to oppose reconstruction in Gaza without first disarming Hamas and transferring control of the area to a third party.

UNRWA could lay off thousands as Trump’s Board of Peace prepares for post-agency Gaza - report

[Jpost] In a post on September 25, the BoP said it "will only work with trusted partners who will deliver for the people of Gaza and contribute to a deradicalized Strip. UNRWA fails on those litmus tests."
“Justice, justice shalt thou pursue” which UNRWA was not designed to do.
The head of the Arab Staff Union in Gaza, Mustafa Al-Ghoul, told the Mondoweiss anti-Zionist news site last week that UNRWA had dismissed around 1,000 staff in Gaza and let 2,000 retire without replacing them, leaving roughly 10,500.

Saunders gave the same figures in the Anadolu Agency interview, saying “We have 10,500 personnel on the ground [in the Gaza Strip].”

Separately, Swiss French-language daily newspaper Le Temps published an investigation last week saying that Saunders plans for UNRWA to close its doors “within four or five years.” This has not yet been independently verified.

Currently, UNRWA purports to be assisting more than 1.7 million Palestinians in Gaza, providing healthcare through 11 centers, schooling for approximately 300,000 children, and drinking water for around 820,000 people.

It also says it provides essential services to nearly six million Palestinian refugees across Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and the West Bank.
