In January 2026, the US-backed National Committee for Gaza Management (NGAC) released its mission statement outlining goals for restoring services and fostering peace in Gaza. The NGAC, a technocratic body, was established as part of Donald Trump's peace plan and authorized by UN Security Council Resolution 2803. It will operate under the direction of Trump's "Board of Peace" and with the support of a High Representative for Gaza. The NGAC aims to rebuild Gaza's infrastructure and governance, but faces challenges due to widespread destruction from the recent war and skepticism about its autonomy. Concerns also exist regarding the pro-Israel composition of the "Board of Peace" and the "Gaza executive board," which lack Palestinian representation.
