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, nongovernmental organizations and private-sector players. That’s according to U.S. officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss details that weren’t authorized for release. They said Thursday that U.S. Central Command is going to establish a “civil-military coordination center” 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. They are some of the first details on how the ceasefire deal would be monitored and that the U.S. military would have a role.
