While Washington frames this as a roadmap for reconstruction and prosperity, the exclusion of Palestinians from the top decision-making body suggests they will have little say in deciding the future governance structure."
"According to the White House statement, the Founding Executive Council sits at the apex of the pyramid. This body holds the purse strings and sets the strategic vision. It is chaired by President Trump, who retains veto power. The lineup of Executive Board members is: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio: Rubio is one of the most pro-Israel officials in the Trump administration."
