In a significant step to implement the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, American officials revealed the deployment of 200 American soldiers to oversee the agreement's implementation, with the participation of several international parties to ensure its enforcement.
This announcement came after confirmation from Hamas chief negotiator Khalil al-Hayya, who indicated that the movement received guarantees from mediators and the American administration regarding Israel's commitment to the first phase of the ceasefire plan.
* The American Mission: Monitoring from Afar
According to American officials, these soldiers will not be deployed in Gaza itself, but will be present in "monitoring centers" in Israel, where they will observe the implementation of the agreement.
An American official stated that Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), will lead a team of 200 soldiers specialized in planning, security, logistics, and engineering.
* The Joint Force: International Coordination
In addition to American forces, military officials from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey will join the American military team in an attempt to form an "international stabilization force" that contributes to facilitating the implementation of the agreement, with a joint coordination center established to include representatives from these countries.
The goal is to coordinate among various parties, including the Israeli army, to ensure the agreement is implemented without any clashes or tensions.
* White House Statements: No American Soldiers in Gaza
In response to some reports circulating about the possibility of sending American soldiers to Gaza, White House spokesperson Caroline Levitt confirmed that these military personnel are part of joint operations in the region, and their mission will be to monitor the agreement from Israel and work with other international forces on the ground.
* The Role of Other Countries: Turkey and France in the Picture
At the same time, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan confirmed that his country would participate in the mechanism for implementing the agreement, including helping to locate Israeli captives in Gaza.
For his part, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot indicated that the Palestinian police forces, trained by Egypt, Jordan, and Canada, would be responsible for daily security in Gaza.
However, he emphasized the need to increase these forces and support them through an international force under the United Nations, a step expected to receive a mandate from the United Nations Security Council.
* Timing and Implementation: Beginning of the First Phase
For its part, the Israeli government announced the start of the first phase of the ceasefire this Friday morning, as the 72-hour deadline came into effect, during which the Israeli army is to withdraw to previously agreed-upon positions, while simultaneously exchanging prisoners between Israel and Palestine.
* The Future: A Step Towards Stability?
As efforts to coordinate the implementation of the agreement on the ground continue, questions remain open about the effectiveness of this mechanism in achieving long-term stability in Gaza, given the significant challenges facing the region and the multiple parties involved in the agreement.
Despite the challenges and doubts surrounding the implementation of the agreement, it seems that the international community, led by the United States and regional countries, is striving hard to avoid any further escalation and coordinate the ceasefire process to ensure temporary stability in the region, paving the way for the next phase of the peace process.
