US EditionUS-backed Gaza committee starts recruiting police, draws 2,000 applicants, officials say
About 2,000 Gaza residents applied for the newly announced police force as part of a US-backed plan to stabilize the region and exclude Hamas from governance.
- On Thursday, the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza opened applications for a Gaza police force, posting an online recruitment link for Palestinians.
- The 20-point plan calls for Gaza governance to be handed to NCAG and exclude Hamas, while Israel's withdrawal and Hamas's disarmament remain major hurdles, Ali Shaath leads NCAG's 15 members.
- In the first hours after the online form went live, Nikolay Mladenov, Trump-appointed envoy, said applicants must be Gaza residents aged 18-35 with no criminal record.
- Training and recruitment plans foresee the UN force training police officers for Gaza, but NCAG did not clarify if current Gazan police could be recruits, Army Major General Jasper Jeffers said.
- With Gaza devastated by over two years of conflict, Hamas says it seeks roles for its police, and Hazem Qassem stated, 'We full confidence that it will operate on the basis of benefiting from qualified personnel and not wasting the rights of anyone who worked during the previous period'.
