"The US launches a Board of Peace for Gaza, but Palestinians have no seat at the table. A billion dollars buys a seat at the table shaping Gaza's future, and Palestinians aren't invited. As the US moves into phase two of a ceasefire, a so-called Board of Peace promises reconstruction while conditions in Gaza remain unchanged and control stays firmly in outsiders' hands."

The United States has launched a Board of Peace to oversee Gaza's reconstruction while Palestinians lack representation on the board. Wealthy donors or states can secure influence, with reports noting a billion dollars buys a seat shaping Gaza's future. The move coincides with the transition into phase two of a ceasefire. The Board is presented as a mechanism to coordinate reconstruction. Ground conditions in Gaza remain unchanged. Control over reconstruction decisions and implementation remains in the hands of external actors. Excluding Palestinian participation risks undermining legitimacy and the responsiveness of reconstruction to local needs.
