US Central Command will set up a ‘civil-military coordination centre’ to help with the flow of aid, as well as logistics and security

The United States is sending about 200 troops to Israel to help support and monitor the ceasefire deal in Gaza as part of a team that includes partner nations, non-governmental organisations and private-sector players, US officials said on Thursday.

The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss details that were not authorised for release, said US Central Command is going to establish a “civil-military coordination centre” in Israel that will help facilitate the flow of humanitarian aid as well as logistical and security assistance into the territory wracked by two years of war.

The remarks provide some of the first details on how the ceasefire deal would be monitored and that the US military would have a role in that effort.
