Yesterday, President Donald J. Trump announced the creation of the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG). This is a significant move in his broader effort to bring peace to Gaza through a comprehensive 20-point plan.
The NCAG will be led by Dr. Ali Sha’ath, a respected expert in public administration and economic development. His role will focus on restoring essential services, rebuilding institutions, and stabilizing everyday life in Gaza. Sha’ath’s experience positions him well to guide Gaza toward self-sustaining governance.
This development aligns with United Nations Security Council Resolution 2803 (2025), which supports Trump’s plan and highlights the importance of the newly formed Board of Peace. This board will provide essential oversight and mobilize international resources to help Gaza transition from conflict to development.
Under Trump’s leadership, the Executive Board consists of influential members, including:
- Secretary Marco Rubio
- Steve Witkoff
- Jared Kushner
- Sir Tony Blair
- Marc Rowan
- Ajay Banga
- Robert Gabriel
Each member will focus on critical areas like governance, investment, and reconstruction to ensure Gaza’s long-term stability and success.
Aryeh Lightstone and Josh Gruenbaum have been appointed as senior advisors, responsible for day-to-day operations and ensuring the board’s goals are met effectively.
Nickolay Mladenov will serve as the High Representative for Gaza, linking the Board of Peace with the NCAG to oversee governance and development initiatives.
To maintain security and facilitate aid delivery, Major General Jasper Jeffers has been appointed as Commander of the International Stabilization Force. His mission is to ensure a safe environment for recovery and aid efforts.
Another Executive Board, involving members like Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, will support best practices for governance and services in Gaza. Other members include:
- Minister Hakan Fidan
- Ali Al-Thawadi
- General Hassan Rashad
- Minister Reem Al-Hashimy
- Yakir Gabay
- Sigrid Kaag
The U.S. is fully engaged in this process and aims to work closely with Israel and other nations to implement the plan. The President emphasized the need for all parties to cooperate with the NCAG and the International Stabilization Force for successful outcomes.
Recent statistics show that 75% of Gazans express hope for better living conditions if stability is achieved. This sentiment highlights the urgency of effective governance and reconstruction in the region.
As international efforts continue, additional members of the Executive Boards will be announced in the coming weeks, showcasing the commitment to Gaza’s future.
