Israel is delaying and preventing the construction of a military base that is supposed to be established in the Gaza Strip to serve the International Stabilization Force (ISF), which will operate in the Strip on behalf of the Peace Council for Gaza. This was reported by the British Guardian, citing a source involved in the details. According to the report, the Peace Council issued a first construction contract in August to an American company called Arkel International to establish the base, which is planned to house about 150 soldiers from a number of countries. According to the source, Israel is preventing the project from moving forward, and contractors and trucks have not received permits to begin construction: "Israel is not opening the border."
