US Changes Leadership of Gaza Mission Amid Uncertainty over Role
U.S. Civil-Military Command Center leaders step down amid doubts about effectiveness; some partners reconsider involvement as Trump advances Gaza peace supervision plan.
- Published Jan. 30, 2026, Reuters reported that U.S. military and civilian leaders at the Civil-Military Command Center are stepping aside, with replacements not publicly named.
- Amid growing uncertainty over its role, western officials say the CMCC was set up in October to oversee ceasefire and aid, as President Donald Trump advances his next-phase Gaza plan and a 'Board of Peace'.
- The CMCC's top military officer, a three-star lieutenant general, is expected to be replaced by a lower-ranked U.S. commander, while Steve Fagin returned to his post as U.S. Ambassador to Yemen after a transitional role.
- Diplomats say the centre has failed to increase aid flows, prompting some U.S. partners to reconsider involvement amid over 400 Palestinians and three Israeli soldiers killed.
- Four diplomats told Reuters a leader is expected to leave as soon as next week, amid President Donald Trump's second-phase plan this month involving Gaza and Hamas.
