According to Washington’s vision, the Peace Council will be responsible for strategic oversight, mobilizing international resources and monitoring commitments related to Gaza’s peaceful development.
The founding executive board will consist of seven members — described by the White House as leaders with experience in diplomacy, development, infrastructure and economic strategy. Each member will oversee a separate area considered critical for stabilizing Gaza.
In addition, a Gaza executive board will be formed to supervise the activities of the new government in the enclave. The body will include 11 members, four of whom will also serve on the founding executive board.
