-The U.S. has opened a Civil-Military Coordination Center in Israel to synchronize aid and security support—but won’t send troops into Gaza, and partners are hesitant.
-Meanwhile, Israel holds roughly half the Strip behind a “Yellow Line,” while Hamas reasserts control elsewhere.
-The longer deployment lags, the more facts on the ground harden—jeopardizing stabilization, governance, and the chance to rebuild daily life.
The Gaza Deal Is Stuck on Step One—Here’s Why

Additionally, the goal is to stabilize the Gaza Strip. A key to that process is the deployment of an international stabilization force.
