- •The board includes prominent figures like former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and World Bank President Ajay Banga.
- •Chaired by Trump, the executive board also features Steve Witkoff, Robert Gabriel, Jared Kushner, and billionaire investor Marc Rowan.
- •Notably, the board lacks Palestinian Authority representation, though a separate Palestinian technocratic committee led by Dr. Ali Sha’ath will handle day-to-day administration in Gaza.
- •The plan aims to restore services and rebuild institutions in Gaza, with former UN envoy Nickolay Mladenov appointed as high representative, despite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's opposition to Palestinian Authority involvement.
