WASHINGTON — Dozens of additional US military personnel arrived at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport on Thursday as US Central Command hastens to set up a civil-military coordination center to oversee — and hopefully sustain — the fragile ceasefire in Gaza after two years of devastating Israeli bombardment.

Trump administration officials have been in talks with Indonesia and Azerbaijan about sending military personnel from their country into Gaza to support a police force made up of local Palestinians, a US official and a regional diplomatic source familiar with the talks confirmed to Al-Monitor.

Administration officials told reporters late on Wednesday that the governments of Egypt, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates will also support the effort. Those countries are among others that Washington expects will either contribute military trainers or funding for the “international stabilization force” as it expands its recruitment among Gaza’s population.

Once set up, the task of the international force will be to “protect people of Gaza and vital infrastructure,” a US defense official speaking on condition of anonymity told Al-Monitor. “They’ll vet and train a local Gaza police force,” the official said. “As that gets stronger, then the IDF can begin to withdraw.”
