The White House has released a list of officials appointed by Donald Trump to what he’s calling a “board of peace”, tasked with overseeing the reconstruction of Gaza, and its transitional administration.
The names included US secretary of state Marco Rubio, former British prime minister Tony Blair, Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and Trump special envoy Steve Witkoff, the White House said.
Trump is the chair of the board, according to his plan revealed late last year under which a fragile ceasefire was reached in Gaza.
“The United States remains fully committed to supporting this transitional framework, working in close partnership with Israel, key Arab nations, and the international community,” the White House statement said.
The statement also says that a National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) will be led by Ali Sha’ath, a former Palestinian Authority official and Gaza native.
Trump also appointed Aryeh Lightstone and Josh Gruenbaum as senior advisers to the board, to oversee “day-to-day strategy and operations”.
