UG Solutions, a North Carolina-based U.S. security firm, has confirmed it is in discussions with the Trump administration’s Board of Peace about a potential new role in Gaza. The disclosure follows reports that the company has been recruiting Arabic-speaking contractors with combat experience for assignments in undisclosed locations, fueling speculation about renewed operations in the enclave.
The private security contractor previously provided armed veterans to guard aid distribution sites operated by the U.S.- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). Those operations were suspended after a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in October. During its earlier deployment, UG Solutions faced criticism from the United Nations after hundreds of Palestinians were killed while attempting to access humanitarian aid in areas where Israeli forces were stationed. The Israeli military has stated that troops fired to address security threats and control large crowds.
A company spokesperson said UG Solutions has submitted proposals to the U.S.-led Board of Peace, established by President Donald Trump to advance his plan to end the Gaza war and rebuild the territory. While discussions have been described as positive, no agreement has been finalized. Sources familiar with the Board’s planning confirmed that talks with UG Solutions and other organizations have been ongoing for weeks.
Trump’s Gaza plan calls for increased humanitarian aid, Hamas disarmament, and a phased Israeli withdrawal, with reconstruction overseen by the Board of Peace. A fundraising meeting is expected in Washington, with redevelopment efforts reportedly beginning in Rafah, a southern Gaza area previously hosting several GHF aid sites.
Palestinian NGO leaders have strongly opposed any return of UG Solutions, citing past violence at aid distribution points. The company maintains its contractors secured only designated perimeters and had no authority over Israeli or militant actions. UG Solutions says it is positioning itself as a key security partner for humanitarian and infrastructure projects in Gaza and potentially Syria, emphasizing its role in protecting aid operations and critical assets.
