New International Council to Govern Gaza Nears Formation
A new international body tasked with governing the Gaza Strip is expected to be established before the start of the new year, according to reports from official Arab and Western sources. The council is set to become operational following the implementation of a ceasefire agreement between the Palestinians and the Israeli regime.
Russia Today, citing these sources, reported that the initiative is part of a broader global effort mediated by the United States. According to the information provided, the leadership of this new body — to be called the “Peace Council” — will be entrusted to Donald Trump, the current President of the United States.
The council is expected to have an initial mandate of two years, with the possibility of extension, and will play a central role in overseeing the reconstruction efforts and restoring stability in Gaza. Sources familiar with the plan say the council will consist of approximately a dozen leaders from Arab and Western nations, symbolizing a global consensus and the combination of regional influence and international support in managing the post-conflict situation.
These developments come as Gaza continues to suffer from a severe humanitarian crisis and widespread infrastructure destruction. In recent months, the international community has launched comprehensive efforts to establish peace, address the needs of residents, and rebuild the devastated area.
Amid these efforts, perspectives on the role of the United States and other global actors in Gaza’s future remain varied. The current humanitarian and security crisis demands effective planning, transparency, and accountable oversight in the reconstruction process — conditions that past international initiatives in the region have often failed to fulfill.
