A new international body, tentatively named the Peace Council, is being proposed as a mechanism to oversee the reconstruction and administration of the Gaza Strip. This initiative, reportedly championed by former US President Donald Trump, envisions a transitional administrative authority with recognized international legal standing.
The primary objective of the Peace Council would be to establish a framework for the comprehensive redevelopment of Gaza. This includes coordinating funding efforts and ensuring that reconstruction projects align with a broader strategic plan. The proposal, according to sources familiar with the matter, is designed to be consistent with relevant principles of international law.
DZWatch understands that the council’s mandate would extend to managing various aspects of daily life in Gaza during the transitional period. This could involve overseeing essential services, infrastructure development, and economic revitalization initiatives. The ultimate goal is to create a stable and sustainable environment conducive to long-term peace and prosperity.
The proposed Peace Council represents a significant departure from existing mechanisms for managing aid and development in Gaza. It is unclear at this stage how the council would interact with existing Palestinian authorities and international organizations operating in the region. The success of the initiative hinges on securing broad international support and the cooperation of all relevant stakeholders.
Further details regarding the council’s composition, operational structure, and funding arrangements are expected to be released in the coming weeks. DZWatch will continue to monitor developments and provide updates as they become available.
