US officials arrive for 'Bibi-sitting' as Washington tightens ceasefire oversight of Israel

Washington is taking a hands-on role, pushing a Gaza plan with a multinational force to disarm Hamas and a technocratic government vetted by Israel, aiming to secure the ceasefire, return of hostages and prevent violations

It is hard not to wonder whether Israel has in recent days become a protectorate of the United States — or perhaps America’s de facto 51st state. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance rejected that suggestion Wednesday as they met in Jerusalem.

Some Israelis have dubbed the new American approach “Bibi-sitting.” Others liken it to a basketball tactic: the Americans have switched to tight man-to-man defense — determined not to let Netanyahu upend the ceasefire. To ensure that, Washington has kept a steady stream of high-level visitors in Israel, ensuring the country is never without a senior U.S. presence.

Vance toured the command center to emphasize U.S. leadership, holding a press conference inside a large industrial hangar surrounded by young American troops and senior officers, including U.S. Central Command chief Brad Cooper, Gen. Patrick Frank and a British general. Behind him hung the flags of Israel, the United States and other participating countries — except for the UAE, which preferred to remain in the background.

Two large signs beside the flags read “Trump’s 20-Point Plan.” Critics say the president’s vision was vague, but Washington was ordered to fill in the details — “and God,” as the saying goes, “is in the details.” The visits by U.S. officials and generals aim both to give the plan substance and to ensure its implementation.
