Kiryat Gat—known for its industrial-city identity and located in southern Israel, on the northern edge of the Negev Desert—is becoming a key hub for implementing the Gaza ceasefire by spearheading the second phase of the Trump Plan. In the city, a U.S.-led civil–military coordination center has begun hosting a multinational structure staffed by troops from the United States, the United Kingdom, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Operating out of a repurposed logistics complex, the center is staffed predominantly by U.S. personnel. At the facility’s entrance, the flags of Israel, the United States, Denmark, Germany, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Jordan are flying; however, the absence of Turkish and Qatari flags reflects ongoing questions over the potential roles these two countries may play in Gaza’s post-war period. The center’s core mission is to remain deployed outside the Gaza Strip and coordinate the implementation of the ceasefire and the associated stabilization efforts.

Information on the command structure indicates that the center is led by U.S. officers. Israeli and U.S. personnel work on separate floors, with a shared coordination floor in between. Personnel from the United Kingdom, Jordan, the UAE, and various European countries also participate at different levels, reinforcing the mission’s multinational character. The facility is described not as an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) base, but rather as a civilian site that has been repurposed and reorganized for coordination purposes.
