Peace boards and technocrats won’t stem out Palestinian resistance

AI Summary

long article 4 min

In January 2026, a Palestinian writer from Gaza commented on the US-brokered ceasefire and proposed governance structure for Gaza. US envoy Steven Witkoff announced the second stage of the ceasefire and the Trump administration unveiled a foreign executive committee and peace board composed of Palestinian technocrats to oversee Gaza's provisional administration. This plan, supported by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, excludes Hamas and potentially Fatah from governing Gaza. The writer argues that this setup ignores Palestinian history and national aspirations, as Palestinian movements have historically rejected Israeli colonial presence. They assert that Fatah and Hamas remain the most prominent political forces within Palestinian society, and any governance structure imposed from the outside is unlikely to succeed without addressing Palestinian national aspirations.
