WNU Editor: The White House is saying no to US troops being deployed to Gaza as part of a multinational force .... No US peacekeeping troops in Gaza, White House says (Reuters).

But US Sens. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) are two politicians who are in the know on what the US is planing to do when it comes to this war.

I think it will be a huge mistake. The optics of US troops standing over the charred remains of Gaza and its traumatized population is not going to resonate well in much of the world.
