US expected to oversee initial force of 200 Arab troops in Gaza

The U.S. military is expected to oversee a joint force in Gaza that will initially consist of roughly 200 non-American troops, if and when the ceasefire process reaches that point, according to senior U.S. officials.

Adm. Brad Cooper, the commander of U.S. Central Command, will oversee the International Stabilization Force, which will “probably be a bunch of” Qatari, Egyptian, Turkish, and Emirati troops, a senior U.S. official told reporters.
