He added that the British officer will serve as deputy to the American commander in the civil-military coordination center. It will also include representatives from Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, and the UAE.
A Ministry of Defense spokesman clarified that British troops will not operate in Gaza itself: "A small number of planning officers have joined the US-led center to ensure the UK's integration into post-conflict stability efforts."
According to Healey, the ceasefire agreement, brokered by Donald Trump, "created an opportunity for long-term peace." The US, for its part, sent about 200 troops to Israel, who will also not participate in operations in the Gaza Strip.
