A parallel, but smaller, counterpart to the Civilian-Military Coordination Center in the Israeli city of Kiryat Gat is being set up in Egypt in El-Arish, an Arab diplomat tells The Times of Israel.
The center is effectively a coordinating mechanism for the mediating countries, says the official, which includes Egypt, Qatar, Turkey and the US. That coordination is currently taking place in Cairo, says the diplomat.
It remains unclear whether Israel will have a representative there.
The El Arish center will focus on, among other issues, what is taking place in Hamas-controlled areas of Gaza, and the aid being sent there through Egypt.
