Both reports say the United States intends to shut the centre set up to monitor a Gaza ceasefire as peace talks stall. Middle East Eye cites a report that the centre will be closed, while Times of Israel relays a Board of Peace denial that the headquarters will be shut and instead folded into a future International Stabilization Force. The differing accounts reflect uncertainty over the centre’s fate.
