As noted by President Trump during his remarks about the regional state leaders requesting that he personally head the “Gaza Board of Peace,” it is only USA President Trump the regional stakeholder’s trust.
Together with the USA and Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the UAE and Qatar have tentatively constructed a ceasefire and peace plan that is contingent upon President Trump as the fulcrum to balance all interests. This puts President Trump in an exceptionally important position. This balance is also why only Donald Trump can pull this off.
As the difficult challenge begins, the preliminary objectives – the ‘how to do this‘ – aspect starts to surface. As noted by the Associated Press, President Trump is sending 200 experts in transportation, planning, security, logistics and engineering from the U.S. military to frame out a “civil-military coordination center” in Israel.
The coordination center will include partner nations, nongovernmental organizations and private-sector experts. The regional states will supplement and support the center as the transitional hub for immediate reconstruction and humanitarian aid. It is likely President Trump will need to select and appoint members to the Gaza Board of Peace as this coordination center gets up and running.
As this process unfolds, Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu is likely to get angered by a predictable stiff-arm from President Trump. The regional stakeholders will be watching this dynamic closely. Domestically, this will be very interesting to watch play out.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States is sending about 200 troops to Israel to help support and monitor the ceasefire deal in Gaza as part of a team that includes partner nations, nongovernmental organizations and private-sector players, U.S. officials said Thursday.
The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss details that were not authorized for release, said U.S. Central Command is going to establish a “civil-military coordination center” in Israel that will help facilitate the flow of humanitarian aid as well as logistical and security assistance into the territory wracked by two years of war.
The remarks provide some of the first details on how the ceasefire deal would be monitored and that the U.S. military would have a role in that effort.
After Israel and Hamas agreed to the first phase of a Trump administration plan to halt the fighting, a litany of questions remain on next steps, including Hamas disarmament, a withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza and a future government in the territory.
One of the officials said the new team will help monitor implementation of the ceasefire agreement and the transition to a civilian government in Gaza. (read more)
The predictable response from domestic U.S-Israel interests is likely to follow the same pattern we see unfolding in the recent decision by the Dept of Defense to help train Qataris on the F-15 purchase.
(Via MJUltra) “The U.S. and Qatar signed an agreement to establish a Qatari Emiri Air Force training facility at Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho, for joint training with Qatari F-15 jets and pilots, leveraging Qatar’s role in peace talks and prior defense deals.”
The Dept of War has authorized Qatar to build a training facility at Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho. This is not a Qatari base in the U.S, but rather a hosted training contingent under U.S. military control.
This is similar to the Tyndall Air Force base in Florida where Qatar military already trains, or to Singapore’s F-15 training at Mountain Home, Idaho, since 2009, or the Dutch F-16 training facility in New Mexico. This is not an unusual set up as it permits training while the Dept of War can control strategic tech and intel systems at home.
Qatar’s massive $12 billion F-15 purchase requires U.S-based training and Mountain Home’s infrastructure suits this need perfectly. The joint training is routine. The bottom line is the joint Qatar-U.S. training facility is not controversial; however, domestically the voices of Israeli influencers are already going bananas.

A five-year-old child spoke up, “I’m Christian.”
The teacher replied, “By Year Six, you’ll all be Muslim.”
Five-year-olds were indoctrinated on “how to fast” and pray on a mat.
All without parent’s consent.
Christianity was dismissed as a joke.

I’m curious if the UK, France, and Germany fit into this discussion.
Their reaction was to scramble to the front of the line hoping to secure their snout into the rebuilding trough.
In their own minds, I’m sure they play an integral role. 😅
Somebody needs to tell the Israeli influencers to sit down and shut up.
Somebody needs to tell others that this is an existential issue for Israel, and those who don’t understand that should sit down and shut up.
No it isn’t. And no it isn’t our problem.
Israel needs to have some Nuremburg trials.
No Muslims here? Is that what you’re saying? No 9/11 and the other Muslim bombings. The TSA was created because if terrorism.
Now do Germany in WWI and II………Oh and don’t forget Japan.
$12,000,000,000 to the US economy.
Yes, Qatar gets the jets, the training and along with it a deep obligation to the US, deep in understanding that attacks on Israel will now be treated as betrayal of a powerful benefactor that could soon turn its $12B fleet into scrap metal, hand in hand with Israel.
Israel gets safer as another middle eastern country gets on the long climb up from the abyss of the ancient world into the light of modernity and gets a whiff of the self-preservation attendant on leaving the past where it belongs.
Israel gets safer as pilots return to Qatar steeped, most if not all of them, in “there’s a better game than obsessing over ancient bitterness”–look at those Americans (the ones they know, anyway).
The entire quandary of dealing with militant Mohammedism is how to bring it out of the centuries and into the present.
This helps.
The problem that still exists is that you cannot bring it out of the Koran! It will always be there and it is the bedrock of all that is Muslim.
There is one concerning aspect that is not being addressed in this peace plan, and that is the ‘re-education’ of people in Gaza. They are taught, from the youngest age, that Jews are the enemy and Israel must be wiped out completely. Israel is being forced to release Gazan terrorists, in exchange for the live and deceased hostages that are still being held. If anyone remembers history, Israel has done this in the past, and one of those terrorists released orchestrated October 7. I understand that President Trump’s goal is to end this conflict, however it does not address the underlying issue at stake. As long as those in Gaza continue with their ideology, which allowed SEVENTY percent of Gazans to approve of October 7, then the ‘peace’ will never be truly accomplished.
Saudi Arabia has an excellent deprogramming group… and deprogramming is part of the 20pt plan.
Do they use a sword?
See my reply to Addario above. You cannot deprogram the Koran!
This is a very bi problem.
But all terrorists needs sponsors for their weapons, infrastructure and payment to the suicide bombers families.
Qatar was one of their primary benefactors, both in money and global media propognada on thoer behalf as well as buying the universities.
If Qatar tells Hamas to play nice, they will.
If PDJT has Qatar on notice, that their access to us depends on Hamas playing nice, Hamas plays nice.
How long does the quiet have to last for actual peace and neighborly love?
Judging by the American bought and paid for “peace” between Israel and Egypt and Israel and Jordan (We pay all parties billions every year to buy the peace), a very long time. So Peace is a long way off, but a lack of hostilities is quire possible.
If the quiet lasts long enough (50 years?), perhaps the older generations have less clout and the newer ones have more to lose by fighting
Gaza is Hamas, Hamas is Gaza. Take away one and the other no longer survives.
President Kennedy sending 200 U.S. Advisors to Viet Nam….
Actually, after WWII Truman pretty much gave Indochina to the French with about a 10 million dollar price tag. Figure that out for today. Eisenhower sent “advisors” as early as 1955 between 700-1,000 by the time he left office.
Yes, escalated under Kennedy and after his assassination a full blown war under Johnson. So, the same, maybe, but I don’t think so. Let’s hope not.
The point is: The 200 “Advisors” sent to Viet Nam by Kennedy resulted in the loss of 55,000 of our Military Heroes…
Sending our Guys to the Middle East, where wars have been continuing for thousands of years, is a similar situation to Viet Nam…
“As this process unfolds, Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu is likely to get angered by a predictable stiff-arm from President Trump. The regional stakeholders will be watching this dynamic closely. Domestically, this will be very interesting to watch play out.”
This seems to assume that he (Netanyahu) will survive an election.
Way back in the 70’s, I was in basic training at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas. I would see funny looking dudes in funny looking uniforms, come to find out they were Iranian pilots being trained to fly F-4’s and F-104’s.
Iranians in Texas. Once the Shah went bye/bye, those planes eventually fell apart (lack of parts) and rusted. When they are trained, they go home.
We also have trained Chinese to fly to gain aviation skills. Go figure.
Waisted money, time and effort with islamists.
