"US President Donald Trump on Friday announced the names of some of the people who are going to sit on the body that will oversee the transitional government in the war-ravaged Palestinian territory. Among those on the seven-member "founding executive board" are US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and World Bank President Ajay Banga. Trump himself will chair the "founding executive board.""
"In addition, there will be a "Gaza executive board" that, according to a statement from the White House,"will help support effective governance and the delivery of best-in-class services that advance peace, stability, and prosperity for the people of Gaza." Witkoff, Kushner and Blair will also sit on the Gaza executive board, along with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, Qatari diplomat Ali Al-Thawadi and other officials. Both Turkey and Qatar have been critical of Israel's military operations in Gaza since the October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel."
The United States announced a seven-member 'founding executive board' to oversee a transitional government in Gaza, chaired by President Donald Trump and including Marco Rubio, Steve Witkoff, Tony Blair, Jared Kushner, and Ajay Banga. A separate Gaza executive board will support governance and service delivery, with Witkoff, Kushner, Blair, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, Qatari diplomat Ali Al-Thawadi, and other officials. Israel objected to the appointments and instructed Foreign Minister Gideon Saar to discuss reservations with Rubio. Turkey and Qatar have criticized Israeli military operations in Gaza since October 7, 2023. The move follows a US-brokered ceasefire agreement that took effect in October.
