The United States is preparing to deploy a military presence at an airbase near Damascus as part of efforts to support a potential security agreement between Syria and Israel, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter to Reuters.
If confirmed, the deployment would mark the first direct U.S. military presence in the Syrian capital and signal a notable shift in the regional balance of power following the fall of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad last year.
The base, located on the outskirts of Damascus with access routes to southern Syria, is expected to serve as a hub for monitoring and logistics related to a proposed non-aggression pact between Syria and Israel. The agreement, still under negotiation, would create a demilitarized zone along the southern border as part of broader efforts to stabilize Syria after years of civil war.

The U.S. is planning to build a large new military base near Gaza for future use by an international peacekeeping force, according to Israeli news outlet Shomrim, which cited Israeli security sources.
The proposed base, which would reportedly cost $500 million and be capable of housing thousands of U.S. troops, would dramatically expand the American military’s presence in Israel. The plan also bolsters speculation that the Trump administration hopes to play a hands-on role in the stabilization and reconstruction of Gaza following reports about Washington’s growing contributions to aid provision and even housing development in the war-torn region.

A document detailing plans for post-war Gaza aims to make President Donald Trump’s “Gaza Riviera” vision a reality — using mass displacement, artificial intelligence, and at least a decade of U.S. trusteeship over the war-ravaged enclave.
It also calls for the entirety of Gaza’s population of two million to be relocated, at least temporarily, through either what it calls voluntary departures to another country, or the moving of residents into temporary housing areas within the Strip during reconstruction.
The plan was developed by some of the same Israelis behind the controversial U.S.- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), according to the Washington Post, which first reported on the document.
