Secretary of State Marco Rubio toured a new Civil-Military Coordination Center in Kiryat Gat, saying more diplomats will join U.S. officers to monitor Gaza’s fragile cease-fire as the Trump administration presses Israel to honor the deal. The State Department named Steven Fagin as lead civilian at the site. Admiral Brad Cooper said 200 U.S. troops are building the center, with partners and NGOs to assist; no troops will enter Gaza. Officials, including Vice President JD Vance, signaled support, while Rubio floated a possible U.N.-mandated peacekeeping force and pushed back against West Bank annexation moves.
