Overview

• Fox News’ X account posted that U.S. troops were headed to Israel to support a peace deal between Israel and Hamas.
• Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called that framing “NOT true,” saying up to 200 personnel already at CENTCOM will monitor the agreement in coordination with international forces.
• The Daily Beast reported that Fox later revised its language to cite a senior official and the same 200‑person figure to help support and monitor the ceasefire.
• Trump announced that both sides had signed off on the first phase of his plan involving a hostage exchange, while broader terms and implementation remain unsettled.
• Online critics said the clarification still amounted to U.S. “boots on the ground,” highlighting sensitivities over any American military role.
