"The proposal envisions a temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee that would oversee the territory's affairs. But it does not detail how the panel will be formed or who will select its members. Moreover, the plan says that Trump and Toni Blair, the United Kingdom's former prime minister, would lead a board of peace that would supervise the governing committee. But the roadmap does not explain the nature of the relationship between this board and the Palestinian committee."
"Yet, it remains unclear who would certify that the PA is ready to take over Gaza or what benchmarks must be met for the PA to handle the governance of the territory. There are no timetables, just a vague pronouncement. The proposal's language additionally treats Gaza as an independent entity, not one that is part of Palestine, that must be unified with the rest of occupied Palestinian territory."
The 20-point ceasefire proposal for Gaza outlines ambiguous governance arrangements, undefined timelines, and uncertain authorities responsible for transition. The plan envisions a temporary technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee to oversee Gaza but omits formation mechanisms and member selection criteria. A board led by Trump and Tony Blair would supposedly supervise the committee, yet the relationship and decision-making levels remain undefined. Transitional authorities would control Gaza until the Palestinian Authority completes reforms, but the proposal lacks certification criteria, benchmarks, and timetables for PA readiness. The language treats Gaza as a separate entity to be unified with occupied Palestinian territory, while Israeli leadership has rejected PA return.
