The United States will deploy 200 troops as part of a joint task force aimed at stabilising Gaza, though no U.S. personnel will be stationed within the Strip, according to two senior U.S. officials on Thursday.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, the officials explained that the 200 troops would form the core of a task force, which would also include representatives from Egypt's military, Qatar, Türkiye, and potentially the United Arab Emirates.
The exact location of the U.S. troops has not yet been determined, but they are expected to establish a joint control centre and coordinate with other security forces working in Gaza to avoid clashes with Israeli forces.
"No U.S. troops are intended to go into Gaza," one official stated.
The officials expressed hope that the Gaza deal, once implemented, would ease tensions in the region and create an opportunity for further negotiations on normalisation agreements between Israel and Arab countries.
During his first term, U.S. President Donald Trump brokered the Abraham Accords, normalisation deals between Israel and Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, and Sudan.
The officials mentioned that Saudi Arabia is a potential candidate for such an agreement with Israel, alongside countries such as Indonesia, Mauritania, Algeria, Syria, and Lebanon.
