thebalanced.newsUS Plans to Close Gaza Civil-Military Coordination Centre Amid Truce Challenges
The U.S. is reportedly set to close its Civil-Military Coordination Centre (CMCC) near Gaza, which was tasked with monitoring the Israel-Hamas ceasefire and coordinating aid. Sources say its responsibilities will transfer to a U.S.-commanded International Stabilization Force (ISF) with fewer troops and more civilian staff. Critics argue the CMCC failed in its mission, while the Trump-led Board of Peace denies the closure. The move reflects challenges in overseeing the truce amid ongoing Israeli operations and Hamas control in Gaza.
