White House Disputes Reports of New Troops to Middle East
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt clarified on Thursday that up to 200 troops will be tasked with monitoring the peace agreement in Israel and will work with other international forces on the ground.
According to Leavitt,
"This is NOT true and taken out of context,"regarding reports of new troops being sent to the Middle East to help support and monitor the ceasefire deal in Gaza.
She further explained that
"up to 200 U.S. personnel, who are already stationed at CENTCOM, will be tasked with monitoring the peace agreement in Israel, and they will work with other international forces on the ground."
President Trump is expected to visit the Middle East on Sunday. The update on the Israel-Hamas peace deal was provided by Fox News' Connor Hansen on LiveNOW from FOX.
