The board was established following the formation of a 15-person Palestinian committee to manage Gaza after the conflict. The establishment of a Gaza “board of peace,” a crucial phase two component of a US-backed plan to end the conflict in Palestinian territory, was announced by US President Donald Trump on Thursday.Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, “It is my Great Honor to announce that THE BOARD OF PEACE has been formed.” He also stated that the body’s members will be revealed “shortly.”
“I can say with certainty that it is the Greatest and Most Prestigious Board ever assembled at any time, any place,” Trump stated. Palestinian technocratic committee of fifteen members The establishment of the board follows the announcement of a 15-member Palestinian technocratic council tasked with overseeing Gaza’s daily government during the conflict. The board of peace, which Trump is anticipated to chair, will oversee the committee’s operations. In order to help secure Gaza and train Palestinian police troops that have been vetted, the plan also calls for the deployment of an International Stabilization Force.Senior Hamas leader Bassem Naim said in a statement on Thursday that it is now on to the mediators, the American guarantor, and the international community to empower the committee.
On October 10, the US-backed Gaza peace plan went into effect, allowing for the release of all hostages held by Hamas and the cessation of hostilities in the besieged area. The second phase of the strategy is currently in progress, however it is shrouded by unresolved concerns. Israeli forces have killed 451 Palestinians since the truce supposedly went into effect, according to Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry. Israel’s complete military departure from the Gaza Strip, which is a step contained in the plan’s framework but for which no specific timeline has been set, continues to be the key concern for Palestinians. In the meantime, Hamas has declined to formally pledge to Israel’s non-negotiable demand of complete disarmament.
