The United States is preparing to send up to 200 troops to Israel to help establish a Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC) aimed at supporting stabilization efforts in Gaza, according to U.S. officials. While the move underscores Washington’s growing involvement in the region’s recovery and security operations, officials emphasized that no American forces will enter the Palestinian enclave itself.
The CMCC, managed by the U.S. military’s Central Command, will coordinate the flow of humanitarian and security assistance into Gaza. The mission’s primary goal is to ensure safe and efficient delivery of aid while preventing clashes among the various military and security forces involved. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that U.S. personnel in Israel will monitor the Gaza agreement and collaborate with international forces on the ground.
Officials noted that the CMCC will include not only U.S. troops but also representatives from Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, and potentially the United Arab Emirates. These multinational efforts are designed to support regional cooperation and maintain stability as Gaza transitions toward post-conflict recovery. The American contingent will consist of experts in logistics, planning, engineering, and security.
U.S. officials hope this coordinated mission will help reduce tensions and foster diplomatic momentum toward further normalization between Israel and Arab nations. Building on the Abraham Accords brokered during former President Donald Trump’s administration, the Biden administration aims to advance similar agreements with countries such as Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Mauritania, Algeria, Syria, and Lebanon.
By focusing on humanitarian coordination and regional diplomacy, Washington seeks to balance security concerns with long-term peace efforts. The U.S. deployment to Israel represents a strategic step in stabilizing Gaza while paving the way for renewed Middle East partnerships and broader peace initiatives.
