US troops arrive in Israel to help monitor Gaza ceasefire
The deployment forms part of a larger multinational effort involving other Middle Eastern countries to ensure the ceasefire’s durability
WASHINGTON, United States (MNTV) – The United States has deployed around 200 military personnel to Israel as part of an international mission to oversee the implementation of the newly announced Gaza ceasefire, US officials confirmed Monday.
According to reports by ABC News, the troops will form a coordination center responsible for monitoring compliance with the truce, focusing on logistics, planning, and security operations.
The personnel will be based in Israel and will not enter the Gaza Strip, operating under the command of US Central Command (CENTCOM) led by Admiral Bradley Cooper.
The deployment forms part of a larger multinational effort involving other Middle Eastern countries to ensure the ceasefire’s durability and to support the phased peace plan announced by US President Donald Trump.
Monitoring peace framework
The first stage of Trump’s 20-point peace framework seeks to secure the ceasefire, facilitate the release of Israeli captives in exchange for roughly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, and enable a gradual Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza.
Later phases include creating a new governing structure for Gaza that excludes Hamas, forming a joint Palestinian-international security force, and pursuing the eventual disarmament of Palestinian factions.
Officials say the mission is designed to ensure “credible verification and coordination” during the transition toward post-war stability in Gaza, with the US contingent providing technical and strategic support to regional partners.
