The White House also recently announced that they will be establishing two governing boards for Gaza. This reasoning has become highly controversial, especially in Israel. His founding executive board and Gaza executive board are committed to attracting investment and improving foreign relations. With total authority over Gaza’s reconstruction, they will be responsible for the efficient administration of the territory. This move will be seen as a way to short-term bring Hamas out of control of governance in Gaza.
The founding executive board is headed by former President Donald Trump. It boasts high-profile founders like Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, Tony Blair and Marco Rubio. This seven-member board is charged with making strategic investments and developing international relations that will shape Gaza’s future for generations. A Gaza executive board would assume responsibility for the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG). This ordinary committee will have ultimate control over almost every aspect of daily life in the territory.
Israel’s government is particularly incensed by the peace board’s new appointments. They claim they weren’t brought to the table on decisions that undermine their policy. The exact composition of this board remains unclear, leading to further concerns about its direction and implications for regional stability.
Donald Trump emphasized the significance of the initiative, describing it as the “greatest and most prestigious board ever assembled, at any time, any place.” His declaration indicates quite a daring prospect for the long-term ruling of Gaza and its full change.
In the words of Tony Blair, a member of the founding executive board, that’s how important this initiative is. It’s win-win for Gazans and Israelis and everyone else. He stated, “It gives hope to people in Gaza that they can have a future different from the past, and to the Israelis that they may have a neighbour which does not threaten its security.”
As discussions continue, it is evident that the establishment of these boards marks a notable shift in governance within Gaza. The federal and local boards remain dedicated to supporting humanitarian needs. Along with these efforts, they work very intentionally to establish a political climate that fosters peace and security in the region.
