A 15-member Palestinian committee has been chosen to oversee the rebuilding and administration of Gaza after the war, the Associated Press on Tuesday cited Egypt’s foreign minister as saying.
“We need to deploy them to take care of the daily life of the people in Gaza, and the Board of Peace should support and supervise the flow of finance and money, which will come for the reconstruction of Gaza,” Badr Abdelatty told the news agency ahead of Monday’s regional summit held at Sharm el-Sheikh and attended by world leaders, referring to the board that will govern Gaza and be chaired by U.S. President Donald Trump.
He said Israel had already reviewed the list of names but did not make them public. Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist factions have approved the committee, Abdelatty added.
The minister also claimed Hamas welcomed the Trump plan for Gaza, saying that the terrorist organization will “have no role in the transitional period. They are committed to that. That is why they are working on an administrative Palestinian committee to be deployed in order to take care of the daily life of the people of Gaza.”
President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi announced Monday that Egypt will host a conference on Gaza’s reconstruction and recovery, organized in coordination with the United States and Germany.
