US Sends 200 Troops to Israel to Support Gaza (X)
US Sends 200 Troops to Israel to Support Gaza: Officials said Thursday that the United States is sending approximately 200 troops to Israel to monitor and assist in the Gaza peace agreement. This mission will be part of a larger team that will also include representatives from partner countries, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector.
Officials speaking to the AP news agency, who declined to be identified, said that US Central Command will establish a "civil-military coordination center" in Israel. The center will facilitate the flow of humanitarian aid and coordinate logistics and security support for Gaza, which has been deeply damaged by two years of war.
According to an official, this center will have about 200 American soldiers who will have expertise in transportation, planning, security, logistics, and engineering. He clarified that no American troops would be sent to Gaza. Another official said that these troops will come from US Central Command and other global locations. Some personnel have already arrived, and others will arrive over the weekend to plan and establish the new center.
The announcement provides some details for the first time about the monitoring of the peace deal and the role of the US military. This week, Israel and Hamas agreed on the first phase of the Trump administration's plan, but many questions remain about Hamas's surrender of weapons, the withdrawal of Israeli forces, and the future establishment of civilian rule in Gaza.
An official said the new team will help oversee the implementation of the peace deal and support the transition to civilian government in the territory.
