US, UK, Israel Lead Multinational Gaza Ceasefire Coordination Center in Southern Israel

Israel's military is intensifying training and readiness near the Lebanon border, with Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir overseeing a major division-level exercise focused on defensive and offensive scenarios, marking the first such drill after two years of combat. Concurrently, the US has established a Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC) in southern Israel to support stabilization efforts and monitor developments in Gaza, with no troops entering the Gaza Strip. British forces, responding to a US request, have deployed a senior commander and a small team to the CMCC to assist in monitoring the fragile Gaza ceasefire brokered by President Donald Trump, emphasizing a collaborative international approach including troops from other countries. The CMCC, located in Kiryat Gat's industrial zone, hosts personnel from the US, UK, Canada, Germany, Denmark, and Jordan, alongside senior Israeli military leadership, underscoring multinational efforts to maintain ceasefire stability and coordinate post-conflict planning. These developments highlight ongoing regional security concerns and international cooperation aimed at sustaining peace and readiness amid volatile conditions.
