\nOn Friday, the White House announced the formation of the
\nNational Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), describing the
\nmove as a vital step forward in implementing phase two of the US President Donald
\nTrump\u2019s peace plan in Gaza.
\nAccording to a statement by the White House, Ali Shaath will
\nchair the National Committee as a technocratic figure tasked with overseeing
\nthe restoration of public services, rebuilding civil institutions, and
\npreparing the territory for sustainable self-governance.
\nThe move aligns with United Nations Security Council
\nResolution 2803 (2025), which endorsed Trump\u2019s plan and supported the creation
\nof a Board of Peace to oversee its implementation, the White House noted,
\nadding that the Board, chaired by Donald Trump, will provide strategic
\noversight, mobilize international resources, and ensure accountability during
\nGaza\u2019s transition from conflict to recovery.
\nThe new structure also includes senior security and
\nadministrative appointments. Nickolay Mladenov was named High Representative
\nfor Gaza, serving as the on-the-ground liaison between the Board of Peace and
\nthe National Committee. Major General Jasper Jeffers was appointed Commander of
\nthe International Stabilization Force, responsible for leading security
\noperations, overseeing disarmament, and securing humanitarian access.
\nTo support governance, a Gaza Executive Board was formed,
\nbringing together regional and international figures, including Turkish Foreign
\nMinister Hakan Fidan, UAE Minister Reem Al-Hashimy, Egyptian General Hassan
\nRashad, and others. The board aims to ensure close coordination with Arab
\nstates and the international community.
\nEarlier
\nthis week, United States President Donald Trump\u2019s special envoy to the Middle
\nEast, Steve Witkoff, announced in a social media post the launch of the second
\nphase of a US-brokered plan to end the war in the Gaza Strip.
\nThe announcement builds on November 2025 UN Security Council
\nadoption of a US-sponsored resolution to end the war in Gaza, authorizing the
\ndeployment of a temporary international force through the end of 2027.
