Exclusive: group behind notorious Florida immigration detention center created bid for reconstruction deal

Trump administration insiders and well-connected Republican businesses have been jostling to dominate pending humanitarian aid and reconstruction logistics in the shattered Gaza Strip, according to sources and documents reviewed by the Guardian.

With three-quarters of Gaza’s structures damaged or destroyed by two years of Israeli strikes, the rebuilding effort to come – estimated at $70bn by the United Nations – could be a rich prize for companies that specialize in construction, demolition, transportation and logistics.

But there’s no way to issue long-term contracts for reconstruction or humanitarian aid yet: a Board of Peace, chaired by Donald Trump, was endorsed by the United Nations to administer the territory but is not yet in operation. And the mandate of the new Civil-Military Coordination Center is limited.

    Im going to be honest here.

    I do not know.

    But i can certainly say that harris wouldnt have mobilized the military on us citizens and given ice a budget equivalent to some of the largest militaries in the world.

    So harris would have been a net positive and if you cant see that, youre incredibly ignorant.

      I already acknowledged the differences on other aspects, so obviously I can see it and am thus not “incredibly ignorant.”

      I am SPECIFICALLY asking about what Harris would have done differently regarding Israel/Palestine. Not immigration. Not LGBTQ. Not Economy. Not military actions regarding other nations. Israel/Palestine.

      It’s clear that Harris would be better for the American public on several metrics. But that isn’t the topic of discussion presented by the top-level parent comment and thus isn’t what we are going to discuss here. We can make a separate thread or string of comments on that, but not sure what we would discuss since I think most of us here are in agreement.

          Ok, but that’s not what I asked. I didn’t ask if you cared or not.

          I’m blocking you now because you seem to have a weird fixation with changing the subject.
