UG Solutions Says It Is in Talks With Trump’s Board of Peace on Possible Gaza Role

Overview

• The North Carolina-based firm disclosed it has submitted information and proposals to the U.S.-led Board of Peace, with discussions under way but no contract in place.
• New listings on the company website seek Arabic-speaking, combat-experienced personnel, including an International Humanitarian Security Officer and a female-only Cultural Support Officer, with locations marked as worldwide.
• UG Solutions previously provided armed security for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, whose aid sites drew deadly crowds and U.N. criticism before the operation shut down after the October ceasefire.
• Palestinian NGOs, including the network led by Amjad al-Shawa, say the firm is not welcome to return given last year’s incidents at distribution routes near Israeli forces.
• A company spokesperson said its contractors only secured aid sites and their perimeter, and indicated preparations for potential work beyond Gaza, including an expansion into Syria, as the Board of Peace plans a Washington meeting next week.
