Why hide that though? Who would stop America from invading Gaza? The kind of subterfuge you are suggesting would be more likely before an invasion of say Europe, China, or Russia. Or a coup.
Because, militarily, you never want to give away information you don’t need to. If Hamas could find out which generals, admirals, and other leaders they were having come to Washington for meetings, it would tell them what forces to expect, and they could plan a resistance, as ineffectual as it would probably be.
But, it could cause more US casualties, which might cause more unhappiness in America, as Americans don’t like it when American soldiers die in pointless wars. Remember, Trump ran as the man who would get the country out of pointless wars, so the more deaths from this pointless war, the more complaints from his political base.

Fair points. Still seems too big brain for his current single chromosome admin, but there’s always the heritage foundation to think of.
