Security Contractors to Facilitate Return of Displaced Gazans

American contractors will support the return of displaced Palestinians under a new cease-fire.


Under a mediated 42-day cease-fire between Israel and Hamas, U.S. security contractors will inspect vehicles as displaced Palestinians begin to return to northern Gaza, marking a significant step toward stabilizing the region.


American security contractors are set to assist in the process of returning displaced Palestinians to the northern Gaza Strip, a crucial element of the ongoing cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas. According to four officials familiar with the situation, these contractors will primarily conduct weapon inspections on vehicles transporting families back to their homes, which have been ravaged by conflict.

The Netzarim corridor, a demarcation line dividing the Gaza Strip, is where the contractors will focus their efforts. For months, Israeli military forces have enforced a significant evacuation from northern Gaza, requiring hundreds of thousands to relocate south. The current cease-fire, which has now entered its fifth day, marks a shift in operations. Israeli troops are expected to announce a partial withdrawal and grant Palestinians the ability to return north.

Mediated by Qatar, Egypt, and the United States, this cease-fire is a response to escalating tensions in the region. Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's Prime Minister, has repeatedly stated that nobody armed is permitted to re-enter northern Gaza. Consequently, mediators have been striving to find a balance between Israel’s security requirements and Hamas’s demands regarding troop withdrawal.

According to details from the cease-fire agreement shared with The New York Times, individuals relocating on foot will be allowed to return without scrutiny. However, vehicles transporting families into the northern part of Gaza will undergo inspections conducted by private contractors starting Saturday. The development marks a hopeful, albeit fragile, step toward peace and revitalization in an area deeply affected by conflict.
