Trump plans to appoint U.S. general to lead Gaza security force
"The U.S. established a civil-military headquarters in Israel to monitor the ceasefire and coordinate humanitarian aid. The U.S. is leading the planning for the reconstruction of Gaza. Trump is expected to head the Gaza Board of Peace, and his top advisers will be members of an international executive board. Now, the U.S. will be in command of the enclave's security force."
"The second phase of the deal involves the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) pulling farther back, the ISF deploying to Gaza, and a new governing structure coming into force, including the Trump-led Board of Peace. The UN Security Council recently authorized both the ISF and the board. Trump told reporters Wednesday that he's planning to announce the Gaza Board of Peace in early 2026."
"Two Israeli officials said UN Ambassador Mike Waltz, who visited Israel this week, told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other officials that the Trump administration is going to lead the ISF and appoint a two-star general as its commander. "Waltz even said he knows the general personally and stressed he is a very serious guy," one Israeli official said."
