The United States plans to shut down its Civil Military Coordination Center near Gaza, a military run hub created to monitor the Israel Hamas ceasefire and coordinate aid deliveries. Its responsibilities are expected to be transferred to a United States commanded International Stabilization Force, marking a significant shift in Washington's approach as President Donald Trump's Gaza plan continues to stall.

Diplomats say the move highlights the challenges facing efforts to enforce the truce and increase humanitarian assistance, particularly as Israeli attacks persist and Hamas maintains control in parts of the territory. The center, established as a key element of a broader reconstruction and stabilization plan, reportedly lacked the authority to enforce ceasefire terms or ensure sufficient aid flows.

Under the restructuring, the number of United States troops involved is expected to drop sharply, with other countries asked to provide civilian personnel. However, few nations have committed forces to security roles, and the broader stabilization mission has yet to fully deploy.

The closure comes amid ongoing violence and worsening humanitarian conditions in Gaza, where much of the territory has been devastated by two years of conflict. Aid deliveries remain limited, and reconstruction efforts have largely stalled despite international involvement.
