Israel blocks Spain from Gaza stabilization center after cease-fire

Israel said Friday it has barred Spain from participating in a U.S.-led coordination center established to support post-war stabilization efforts in Gaza, following the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas that took effect on Oct. 10. The Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC) in Kiryat Gat was set up with the goal of monitoring the truce and facilitating the flow of humanitarian aid into the Palestinian territory.
