US Intelligence Chief Visits Key US-Israel Ceasefire Coordination Center Amid Trump Peace Efforts

Tulsi Gabbard, the U.S. Director of National Intelligence, recently visited the U.S.-operated Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC) in southern Israel, which plays a key role in monitoring the ceasefire and coordinating multinational efforts for stability in Gaza. Gabbard emphasized that the CMCC is a symbol of international cooperation, involving 16 countries and 20 NGOs working together to support peace and security for Israelis and Palestinians. She credited President Trump's leadership and historic peace agreement for fostering a renewed sense of optimism across the Middle East. Around 200 U.S. service members are involved in the CMCC, focusing on leadership and coordination, while a coalition of Arab forces is expected to deploy stabilization personnel into Gaza. The U.S. military has also deployed surveillance drones over Gaza to independently monitor the ceasefire situation. Gabbard's visit comes amid ongoing diplomatic efforts, including meetings with Israeli leaders, to ensure the success of the ceasefire and broader peace plan.
