According to The Washington Post, in a “dirty” location within an industrial area in Kiryat Gat, a once-abandoned three-storey building has been used as the headquarters of the US-led Civil and Military Coordination Centre (CMCC) for monitoring the Gaza ceasefire and facilitating the entry of humanitarian aid. The CMCC brings together representatives from more than forty states and organisations, including the United States, Germany, Britain, France, the UAE, Jordan, Egypt, Denmark, Australia, Cyprus, and New Zealand.

Every state that backed the occupation whether at the military, political, or the security level over the two years of the genocidal war is participating in the Centre, with each one of them appearing so eager to get a share of the war booty.

Unlike the polished image the states involved attempt to portray, which claims their mission is to prevent violations, allow the entry of aid, and restore security ahead of reconstruction, the reality reveals that their mission is as dirty as the building in which they operate. Their primary preoccupation is not restraining the machinery of death and destruction but rather drafting plans to disarm the Palestinian factions, even if this requires the use of force, which is a demand Israel is strongly pressing for.

Giant screens linked to surveillance satellites, operated by military and security experts, monitor every movement in the Gaza Strip — counting the breaths of its people — while allowing Israeli forces on land, sea, and air to act freely without restrictions or oversight. Since the ceasefire agreement came into effect on 10 October 2025, Palestinian fire has ceased entirely, yet the occupation has continued shooting, shelling, and even violating the designated “yellow line” set for its troop positions, expanding further westward. Israel has also failed to comply with the humanitarian protocol governing the entry of aid — in both quantity and type — as well as the opening of crossings and the evacuation of the wounded and sick.

More than 500 violations have been recorded since the ceasefire began. Under the orchestrated narrative of “Palestinian breaches” promoted by Israel’s propaganda machine, 27 alleged breaches were used to justify attacks that killed 27 Palestinians and wounded 87, bringing the total death toll from ceasefire violations to 342 and 875 wounded, alongside vast destruction and the obstruction of agreed-upon delivery of humanitarian aid.

The Violations have become routine. Netanyahu even boasts after every breach that it was carried out in coordination with the US administration and the Joint Coordination Committee, claiming he receives a green light for attacks. These claims carry weight: despite the severity of the violations and the scale of human........
