"The coordination center will be staffed by about 200 U.S. service members who have expertise in transportation, planning, security, logistics and engineering, said the official, who noted that no American troops will be sent into Gaza. A second official said troops would come from U.S. Central Command as well as other parts of the globe. That official added that the troops already have begun arriving and will continue to travel to the region over the weekend to begin planning and efforts to establish the center."
"The remarks provide some of the first details on how the ceasefire deal would be monitored and how the U.S. military would have a role in that effort. After Israel and Hamas agreed this week to the first phase of a Trump administration plan to halt the fighting, a litany of questions remain on next steps, including Hamas disarmament, a withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza and a future government in the territory."
About 200 U.S. service members will staff a civil-military coordination center in Israel to facilitate humanitarian aid, logistical and security assistance into Gaza. The center will be part of a broader team that includes partner nations, nongovernmental organizations and private sector players. The U.S. military role includes monitoring implementation of the ceasefire agreement and supporting the transition to a civilian government in Gaza. No American troops will be sent into Gaza. Troops will come from U.S. Central Command and other global commands and have already begun arriving to begin planning and establish the center.
