US and Israeli soldiers, along with military representatives from over 20 other countries, diplomats, and aid workers, are currently stationed at a warehouse in southern Israel to monitor a ceasefire in Gaza that has been in place for almost six weeks. This operation is part of the US-led Civil-Military Coordination Centre (CMCC), which is responsible for overseeing subsequent phases of President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace initiative. This includes facilitating the entry of humanitarian supplies and planning for the region’s reconstruction.
A notable aspect of this coordination effort is the absence of formal Palestinian representation at the site, which has led to some criticism regarding inclusivity in the peace process. The situation raises questions about the involvement of Palestinian voices in initiatives that directly affect them.
Our Middle East correspondent, Yolande Knell, was granted access to the location to report on the ongoing activities and the dynamics at play.
