Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsrael 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.”
