Multiple news reports indicate that the United States is deploying approximately 200 service members to Israel. These troops are designated to support and monitor a recently approved ceasefire agreement, providing expertise in areas such as transportation, planning, security, logistics, and engineering. It has been confirmed that these personnel will not be sent into Gaza.

In a separate development, a federal appeals court has heard arguments concerning the scope of presidential authority to federalize state National Guard units. The proceedings addressed the question of whether former President Donald Trump had the power to assume control of 200 Oregon National Guard troops. A US circuit judge, a Trump appointee, suggested that courts should generally refrain from a “day-by-day” review of the necessity for such troop deployments.
