TEL AVIV ¨C A U.S. military-run body near Gaza that critics say failed in its mission to monitor the Israel-Hamas ceasefire and boost aid flows to besieged Palestinians is set to be shut by U.S. President Donald Trump¡¯s administration, sources familiar with the matter said.
The closing of the Civil-Military Coordination Center in Israel would mark the latest blow to Trump¡¯s Gaza plan, already undermined by repeated Israeli attacks since the October truce and a refusal by Hamas to lay down its arms.
Diplomats said the move, which has not been previously reported, underscores the difficulties facing U.S. efforts to oversee the ?truce and coordinate on aid, as Israel seizes more Gaza territory and Hamas firms its grip in areas under its control.
