WP: America will oversee the entry of aid into Gaza instead of "Israel"

The Washington Post revealed that the United States will take on the role of overseeing the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, instead of "Israel," through the "Civil-Military Coordination Center" established by the U.S. military in "Kiryat Gat."

The newspaper quoted officials familiar with the details of the move, stating that this change will make "Israel's" role secondary in determining the nature of the humanitarian aid that can be brought into Gaza and the mechanism for its entry.

The U.S.-led "Coordination Center," tasked with implementing President Donald Trump's peace plan for the Gaza Strip, will replace "Israel" in overseeing humanitarian aid to the region, even as many individuals familiar with the first weeks of the center's operations described it as chaotic and hesitant.

The newspaper disclosed that the tasks of the "Government Coordination Unit in the Territories," which is the Israeli military unit responsible for organizing aid in Gaza, will be transferred to the civil-military coordination center established near the Gaza border.

Many individuals familiar with the transition process stated that this step reduces "Israel's" role in determining how and what type of humanitarian relief can enter Gaza, as the civil-military coordination center takes the lead.

Since the ceasefire in Gaza began last month, humanitarian aid, despite improvements, has remained significantly restricted by "Israel."

The U.S.-led center represents more than 40 countries and organizations, and "one of the benefits of bringing them together is that it allows you to distinguish between reality and fiction and gain a clearer understanding of what is happening on the ground, and where the needs lie," said Captain Tim Hawkins, spokesperson for U.S. Central Command, in an interview with the newspaper.
