A U.S.-run coordination center in Israel is convening foreign diplomats, U.S. military personnel, and aid workers to discuss the future of Gaza. Palestinian representatives, however, are notably excluded from these discussions, prompting questions about the inclusivity of the planning process. The facility, located in Kiryat Gat, is being used to monitor and coordinate military and humanitarian efforts in the region.
Diplomatic observers have raised concerns about the absence of Palestinian voices in shaping post-conflict strategies, highlighting potential disparities in the decision-making framework. The center’s operations are under international scrutiny, with some viewing the exclusion as a critical oversight rather than a strategic decision. While officials emphasize the need for security and stability, critics argue the lack of local input could complicate long-term recovery efforts in Gaza.
