The United States will close its flagship Gaza mission in the coming weeks, sources familiar with the decision said Saturday, as President Trump’s broader peace initiative loses momentum.
The mission, which coordinated humanitarian access and served as Washington’s main political presence for Gaza, is being wound down after months of stalled negotiations. Officials cite lack of traction in the Trump-backed plan as the key driver.
The move marks a notable U.S. diplomatic retrenchment in the territory amid stalled talks with regional partners. State Department officials have not confirmed a timeline but said staff and assets will be repositioned.
