<h1>Trump Administration Forms "Board of Peace" for Gaza</h1>
<p>The Trump administration has appointed US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and former UK Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair as founding members of its "Board of Peace" focused on Gaza.</p>
<p>Alongside them, Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, the president's son-in-law, are part of the newly formed "founding executive board", as announced by the White House in a statement on Friday.</p>
<p>President Trump will chair the board, which is integral to his 20-point strategy aimed at resolving the conflict between Israel and Hamas. This board is expected to oversee Gaza’s administration temporarily and manage its reconstruction efforts.</p>
<p>Other notable members of the board include Marc Rowan from a private equity firm, World Bank President Ajay Banga, and US National Security Adviser Robert Gabriel. Each member is expected to handle portfolios essential for stabilizing Gaza and ensuring its long-term success, according to the White House.</p>
<p>Trump described the board as the "Greatest and Most Prestigious Board ever assembled at any time, any place" during Thursday's announcement. More members will be introduced over the upcoming weeks.</p>
<p>As Prime Minister from 1997 to 2007, Tony Blair led the UK into the Iraq War and later served as the Middle East envoy for the Quartet, aiming to foster economic development in Palestine and promote a two-state solution. His prior engagements included high-level discussions regarding Gaza's future, such as a meeting with Trump in August that was characterized as 'very comprehensive.'</p>
<p>In conjunction with the board's formation, a separate 15-member Palestinian technocratic committee named the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) will manage day-to-day governance post-conflict. Former Palestinian Authority deputy minister Ali Shaath will lead this committee, with Nickolay Mladenov, the former UN Middle East envoy, representing the board on the ground in Gaza. An International Stabilisation Force (ISF) will also be deployed to support vetted Palestinian police forces, headed by US Major General Jasper Jeffers.</p>
<p>Under the first phase of the peace plan launched in October, a ceasefire was agreed upon by Hamas and Israel, along with a hostage exchange and reduced Israeli military presence in the region. The second phase will focus on Gaza’s reconstruction and the complete disarmament of Hamas and other groups. However, the ceasefire remains precarious, with reports of ongoing violence and dire humanitarian conditions affecting the local population.</p>This version retains the essential information while providing a fresh formulation and structure.
