Based on early 2026 reports, the proposed Board of Peace—a body intended to oversee Gaza's reconstruction—plans to utilize a National Committee for the Administration of Gaza composed of Palestinian technocrats. This committee is designed to deliver public services and rebuild, though the overarching plan focuses on international oversight and involves excluding those with ties to Hamas.
Key details regarding the rebuilding efforts include:
Structure: A "Gaza Executive Board" involving international figures (including Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff) is tasked with oversight, while a separate committee of Palestinian technocrats is intended to handle day-to-day administration.
Roles: The plan aims for the administration to manage, rebuild, and handle public services, which would likely involve employing local Gazans for cleanup and reconstruction tasks, though specific employment contracts for cleanup are not detailed.
Challenges: The initiative faces hurdles, including opposition to certain international involvement (such as from Turkey) and questions about the actual power of the Palestinian committee, notes The Guardian and The Institute for Middle East Understanding (IMEU).
Scope: The
Board's role has expanded beyond just Gaza to include global conflicts,
notes CNN.
The plan aims to replace traditional UN agency roles with this new, business-oriented structure, say reports from The Guardian.
As
of January 2026, the Board of Peace has established a framework that
involves local Gaza citizens in the territory's administration and
recovery, though strict vetting requirements and centralized control
apply.
Based on the latest reports and official statements:
Employment through the NCAG: The Board of Peace oversees the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), a body of Palestinian technocrats tasked with delivering public services, rebuilding municipalities, and managing day-to-day activities.
Reconstruction Workforce: Plans for Gaza's reconstruction include employing local Palestinians as a labor force for large-scale projects, such as clearing rubble and building new infrastructure. Proponents describe this as a shift toward "free market principles" to create jobs and reduce aid dependency.
Vetting and Eligibility: Participation in reconstruction and governance is conditional. Individuals or organizations with a "demonstrated history of collaboration, infiltration or influence" with Hamas are explicitly barred from involvement. Only those who act consistently with the Board's comprehensive plan are eligible for these roles.
Other Ongoing Initiatives: Outside the Board of Peace, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) are already implementing "cash-for-work" programs that hire thousands of local workers for debris clearance, well restoration, and wastewater system repairs.
Key
Officials Involved:
Donald
Trump: Chairman of the Board of Peace.
Nickolay
Mladenov: High Representative for Gaza, acting as the bridge between the
Board and the local Palestinian committee.
Jared Kushner: Member of the Gaza Executive Board focused on reconstruction and investment strategy.
