Israel said set to invite US to move some Middle East bases to country, and establish new ones
Israel is set to invite the United States to relocate some of its bases in the region to Israel — and to establish new bases in the country — after the current war is over, Channel 12 reports, citing unnamed security sources.
The security establishment sees an opportunity to “reshape the map” of US military positioning in the Middle East, the report says, given that US forces are already present here now and in light of evolving security challenges.
“We have proved our values of late as a central ally of the United
States — one that provides not only stability, but also significant
operational and intelligence capabilities,”
---the report quotes an Israeli
source as saying.
“American bases in Israel would create a strategic
advantage for both sides.”
