Rubio, Kushner, and UK’s Blair Named to Trump’s Gaza ‘Board of Peace’ Rubio, Kushner, and UK’s Blair Named to Trump’s Gaza ‘Board of Peace’

The White House appointed prominent global figures to oversee Gaza's transitional governance and reconstruction, with over 450 casualties reported during the fragile ceasefire, officials said.

  • On Friday, the White House announced members of a new board to oversee Gaza, with President Donald Trump serving as chairman for postwar reconstruction management.
  • Gaza has been under a fragile ceasefire since October, shaping the timing of the plan, which the White House framed as part of a broader 20-point peace plan after a mid-November UN Security Council resolution.
  • The White House named founding executive members including Marco Rubio, Steve Witkoff, Tony Blair, Jared Kushner, and an 11-member Gaza Executive Board with Hakan Fidan, Sigrid Kaag, Reem Al-Hashimy, Yakir Gabay, and Nickolay Mladenov.
  • The listed founding names contain no Palestinians, prompting rights experts and advocates to say this resembled a colonial structure, while Egypt's foreign minister said it is studying the matter.
  • The White House said it will announce more members in coming weeks, supporting a UN-authorised stabilisation force led by Maj. Gen. Jasper Jeffers amid Gaza's severe humanitarian crisis.
