Exclusive: US to close its flagship Gaza mission as Trump plan stalls, sources say

(May 1, 2026)

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 the Trump administration, sources ​familiar with the matter told Reuters.
The closing of the Civil-Military Coordination Centre in Israel would mark the latest blow to President Donald Trump‘s Gaza plan, already undermined by repeated Israeli attacks since ‌the October truce and a refusal by Hamas to lay down its arms.
