The Guardian • • world
Key Points:
- Former US President Donald Trump has announced a seven-member "board of peace" to oversee the reconstruction and transitional administration of Gaza amid a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
- The board includes notable figures such as US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, and World Bank President Ajay Banga, with Trump serving as chair.
- Each member will be responsible for specific areas critical to Gaza's stabilization, including governance, regional relations, reconstruction, investment, and funding mobilization.
- Despite the ceasefire, Israel continues demolishing structures in parts of Gaza it still controls, while Hamas has not publicly agreed to full disarmament, a major Israeli demand.
