U.S.-Led Plan Establishes New Governing Body for Post-War Gaza

A new international framework to govern and rebuild the Gaza Strip is taking shape, following months of war between Israel and Hamas. The plan, spearheaded by the United States, centers on a temporary Palestinian-led administration run by technical experts, supervised by a high-profile American-led board. The core of the new structure is the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), a body of Palestinian technocrats—specialists appointed for their expertise rather than political affiliation—tasked with restoring public services and daily civil administration [52193]. Dr. Ali Sha’ath, a Palestinian academic and businessman, has been selected to lead this committee [51161]. Its formation follows an agreement by all major Palestinian factions in Cairo to create a new governing body to assume control from Hamas [49980][50182]. Overseeing this transition will be a U.S.-constituted executive board, referred to in some announcements as a "Board of Peace" [51283][52209]. This board includes prominent international figures such as former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio, and former presidential advisor Jared Kushner [52316]. Real estate developer Steve Witkoff, acting as a special envoy, has also been involved in announcing the plan's phases [50117]. The broader U.S. proposal outlines a multi-phase process beginning with a ceasefire, moving to this transitional governance, and aiming for the demilitarization of Gaza and its eventual reconstruction [50224][50313]. A key condition for the plan is the disarmament of Hamas, which has agreed in principle to dissolve its administrative control when the new committee takes over [47439][49452]. The new Palestinian committee has already begun preliminary work, holding its first meeting in Cairo to discuss relief and reconstruction efforts [51789]. The plan has also received support from key allies, including Germany [51767]. While the administrative framework is now publicly outlined, significant questions remain. The full authority of the committees on the ground, the timeline for the handover of power, and the practical steps for demilitarization and rebuilding are still being determined [52193][52292]. **Sources** White House Forms Surprise Committee to Run Gaza US Announces Gaza Ceasefire Phase Two: Technocrats to Take Over, But Key Details Missing Blair, Kushner, Rubio Named to U.S.-Led Gaza Reconstruction Group Trump Announces New Gaza 'Board of Peace' U.S. to Name New Palestinian Leaders for Gaza Trump Names "Board of Peace" for Gaza, Overseen by Blair and Rubio Blair, Rubio Named to U.S.-Backed Gaza "Board of Peace" US Taps Palestinian Engineer to Run Gaza in Post-War Plan US Unveils Plan for Gaza: New Government, Demilitarization Germany Backs New Palestinian Committee to Govern Gaza Palestinian Factions Agree: New Body Must Take Over Gaza US Proposes Gaza "Board of Peace" Chaired by Trump Palestinian Factions Agree on Post-War Gaza Government Committee Hamas to Dissolve Gaza Government Under US Peace Plan Gaza Reconstruction Talks Begin in Cairo
