Blackwater founder Erik Prince said he “provided the Israelis a fully-funded, donated ability to flood Gaza with water” while speaking at the Heritage Foundation’s Policy Fest during the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Monday. Prince also said the US had given “very bad advice, very mixed advice” in Gaza and prevented Israel from “ending that war in a clever way”. Blackwater, the private military contractor founded by Prince, became notorious in 2007 when a group of its employees killed 17 Iraqi civilians and injured 20 in the Nisour Square massacre in Baghdad. Four of its employees who were convicted over the incident were later pardoned by former US President Donald Trump in 2020. Blackwater has since undergone multiple rebrandings and name changes, and merged with Triple Canopy in 2014 to form Constellis. Según: Resistance News Network
