Trump's new Mideast plan shocks Bibi, Gaza 'board of peace' formed with Qatar & Turkey over Israel

On January 16, Washington unveiled the NCAG as the central civilian vehicle for rebuilding Gaza’s institutions, restoring basic services, and managing day‑to‑day administration under international oversight, led by technocrat Dr. Ali Sha’ath and linked directly to Trump’s Board of Peace and U.N. Security Council Resolution 2803. The White House statement names a heavyweight roster around the Board and Gaza Executive Board — including Marco Rubio, Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, Tony Blair, Ajay Banga, Hakan Fidan, Ali Al‑Thawadi, Reem Al‑Hashimy, Sigrid Kaag and others — while assigning Major General Jasper Jeffers to command an International Stabilization Force, signaling an attempt to fuse security, reconstruction and political engineering in Gaza even as U.S. rhetoric toward Iran shifts from overt threats to a more cautious, diplomacy‑first line.
