Israel-Gaza live updates: Hamas publishes names of 20 living Israeli hostages to be released

U.S. Central Command is establishing a coordination center in Israel to support and monitor the ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel, according to a U.S. official.

The official stressed that no U.S. military personnel will be deploying to Gaza, but that 200 U.S. servicemembers will be operating from inside Israel.

In addition to monitoring the ceasefire, the coordination center will help with the flow of humanitarian, logistic and security assistance into Gaza, according to the official.

The U.S. military personnel will provide expertise in security, planning, logistics, engineering and transportation, the official said.

President Donald Trump said "nobody is going to be forced to leave" Gaza, clarifying disconnect between the 20-point peace plan and what he told reporters on Thursday.

"It's just the opposite. This is a great plan. This is a great peace plan. This is a plan that was supported by everybody," Trump said.

Earlier Thursday, he said, “you can't live right now in Gaza.”

When asked about the possibility of a Palestinian state, Trump said “we're going to see how it all goes” but that they might consider options that may be “a little bit different.”

“We're going to see how it all goes. And there's a point at which we may do something that would be a little bit different and may be very positive for everybody,” Trump said.

U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met with Israeli President Isaac Herzog and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu separately on Thursday, two sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.

The three discussed the framework of the ceasefire agreement with Hamas.

"President Herzog conveyed his deep appreciation to President Trump, Mr. Kushner, and Mr. Witkoff for their pivotal and historic role in bringing the hostages home, and in advancing Israel’s security, strengthening the well-being of its citizens, and helping to pave a path toward a new era of cooperation in the Middle East," the president's office said in a statement.

The meeting with Netanyahu is currently underway, the sources said.

The Israeli government meeting to ratify the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas will begin at 10 p.m. local time, 3 p.m. ET.

The deal is expected to be approved between 11 p.m. to midnight local time, 4 to 5 p.m. ET, Thursday.

A cabinet meeting over the deal has ended.

The ceasefire will begin as soon as parliament votes to approve it, according to a copy of the Israeli deal reviewed by ABC News.

When the ceasefire begins, the Israel Defense Forces will have 24 hours to withdraw to the new deployment lines. Once the IDF redeploys, the 72-hour window will open for the release of the 48 hostages.

Israeli officials say all 20 living hostages will be freed on Sunday or Monday in one group. Some of the dead hostages may be returned, but the deal provides for a longer window than 72 hours to find and receive the bodies.
