The United States is set to deploy up to 200 troops to Israel in support of the ceasefire agreement, according to two senior White House officials who briefed reporters on Thursday.

The officials explained that the troops, commanded by U.S. Central Command’s Adm. Brad Cooper, will remain outside of Gaza.

“He’ll initially have 200 people on the ground. His role will be to oversee, observe, make sure there are no violations-incursions. Everybody’s worried about the other side,” one of the senior officials said.
