On November 8, 2025, representatives of the Israeli security forces confirmed: Washington is directly involved in managing humanitarian deliveries to the Gaza Strip. This is part of a broader ceasefire plan being promoted by U.S. President Donald Trump.
According to The Washington Post, it is the Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC), established under U.S. leadership, that controls which shipments are sent to Gaza and how. Israel remains involved in the process, but key decisions now go through the CMCC, which is expected to increase transparency of deliveries and reduce the risk of misuse.
Israeli security structures continue monitoring and participating in joint meetings. Full integration of the CMCC began in late October when American specialists deployed the center in southern Israel — near the humanitarian corridors.
Assistance and Reality on the Ground
The U.S. command emphasizes that the center’s goal is not just logistics, but stabilization of the situation and prevention of a humanitarian collapse. However, international agencies report that despite the announced truce, the volume of aid remains far from meeting the needs. People in Gaza suffer from a lack of food, medicine, and destroyed housing.
Israel claims it is fulfilling its obligations: about 600 trucks pass into the territory daily. But UN organizations note that even with such volume, the crisis cannot be contained.
Restrictions and Controversial Issues
The American side takes a leading role in negotiations with humanitarian structures. At the same time, strict filters are in place — imports are restricted for “dual-use” goods that could be used for military purposes. The Israeli side insists that security remains a priority, even if it slows down the pace of deliveries.
President Trump, commenting on the situation, called it a “profound humanitarian crisis” and publicly urged Israel to ensure the delivery of “every ounce of food and every drop of water.” These words resonated both in Jerusalem and Washington.
Between Politics and Hope
Today, the CMCC has become a platform where the interests of the U.S., Israel, and international organizations intersect. Political and military decisions now go through a mechanism that connects the two allied countries not only in the field of security but also in humanitarian responsibility.
