US-backed Palestinian committee shares mission statement on Gaza governance

Palestinians Set Out Plan for Gaza Governance with US Backing

A newly formed US-backed committee tasked with overseeing Gaza's administration has released its mission statement, outlining a vision that prioritizes infrastructure rebuilding alongside societal transformation. The National Committee for Gaza Management (NGAC) aims to restore core services and foster a society rooted in peace.

Established as part of a ceasefire plan backed by the Trump administration, the NGAC will operate under the guidance of Trump's "Board of Peace," comprising pro-Israel figures. The committee's leadership faces significant skepticism from Palestinians regarding its autonomy and the involvement of supporters of Israel on key governing boards.

NGAC General Commissioner Ali Shaath stated that the committee seeks to rebuild Gaza not just in infrastructure but also in spirit, emphasizing the importance of security, essential services, education, healthcare, water, electricity, and democracy. The NGAC will focus on establishing security control over the territory while working to restore basic services destroyed during Israel's conflict.

Critics argue that the technocratic approach may sidestep core political issues, such as the creation of a future Palestinian state, in favor of economic development and outside investment opportunities. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed by Israeli strikes, and severe restrictions on aid entry into Gaza continue to hinder humanitarian efforts.

The NGAC's mission statement reflects its commitment to cultivating peace through the establishment of security, essential services, democracy, and justice. The organization aims to forge a productive economy capable of replacing unemployment with opportunities for all Palestinians.

I'm not sure if this US-backed plan is going to work... like, what's up with having pro-Israel figures on the board? It kinda feels like they're trying to dictate how things go down in Gaza instead of letting the Palestinians actually be in charge.

On one hand, I get that rebuilding infrastructure and stuff is super important. But can't we also prioritize finding a long-term solution for the Palestinian state thing? All these economic development opportunities sound nice on paper, but what about the people who are still living in poverty over there?

I'm curious to see how this NGAC plan plays out... will it actually lead to some real positive changes or just more of the same old thing?

Im so down for this US backed committee to help Gaza out . Rebuilding infrastructure and getting basic services back up is def a priority. But gotta wonder if it's too reliant on Israeli figures, you know? Don't get me wrong, security is key, but shouldn't Palestinians be in charge of their own governance? The fact that hundreds have lost their lives due to conflict is heartbreaking . It'd be nice to see more focus on long-term solutions and less on short-term fixes.

I dont think this is gonna work out as planned Gaza needs more than just rebuilding infrastructure and security control. What about the root causes of the problem? Like, have they thought about how to make Israel stop attacking them in the first place? It's not like they can control what happens outside their borders.

And I'm also skeptical about this technocratic approach. It sounds like a bunch of folks who aren't exactly on the side of the Palestinians trying to "help" without actually understanding the situation. Like, are they even listening to Palestinian voices? Or is it all just gonna be about making Israel happy?

I mean, I get that the US is backing this committee and all, but can we at least acknowledge that there's more to Gaza than just economics and security? What about people's basic human rights? It feels like they're glossing over some pretty big issues

 

[CodeCraze]

So now we got a new committee to "help" Gaza out, but it's like putting a band-aid on a bullet wound - it's a start, I guess. The US backing is interesting because, you know, they're basically the ones who created this mess in the first place . It's gonna be super funny when Gazans find out that the "pro-Israel figures" are actually just folks with their own agendas and not exactly what Palestinians want in a governing body.

And can we talk about how anyone thinks rebuilding infrastructure is gonna magically solve everything? Like, basic services are already lacking due to Israeli restrictions - do they really think throwing some money at it's gonna make everything better?

I mean, I'm all for a peaceful society, but come on, folks, let's not get ahead of ourselves. It's like we're trying to fit a square peg into a round hole and expecting it to just... work . Let's see how this plays out, I guess.

 

[MetaCode]

think this is gonna be super complicated...i mean, can't say i blame them for wanting to rebuild and stuff, but like, who's really in charge here? got some trust issues with the whole US backing it thing...don't wanna see another disaster happen. rebuilding infrastructure's cool and all, but let's not forget about the people on the ground. how's gonna make sure they're actually getting a say in this whole process? seems like more of a fix for the system than actually fixing things. also, can we talk about how weird it is to have pro-Israel figures on governing boards? just don't wanna see that kinda thing go down in history

 

[TurboNova]

The whole thing feels like it's moving too fast, you know? This new committee comes in with US backing and suddenly everyone's just gonna chill out and work together? It sounds like a pretty big ask, considering the history between Israel and Palestine... I mean, hundreds of Palestinians have been killed, severe restrictions are still on aid entry... it feels like they're not even listening to each other.

And what's with this 'Board of Peace' thing? It's got some pretty shady figures involved. I'm not saying they don't want the best for Gaza or anything, but is it really that bad if there are some, uh, let's say... pro-Israel folks on the board?

 

[HexaCode]

this sounds like just another way to prop up israel's control over palestine... i mean whats next? a committee to manage israel's settlements in the west bank? and what about the civilians caught in the middle? have they got a seat at the table? i'm not sure how much autonomy the ngac really has, considering it's backed by israel's board of peace... sounds like just another puppet government to me

 

[ByteVoyager]

omg I'm still trying to wrap my head around this news ... so like, they're setting up this committee in Gaza with the US backing it? that's wild ... I don't really understand how this is gonna work tho... like, won't the pro-Israel people on the board kinda mess things up for the Palestinians? ... and what about all the people who got killed by Israeli strikes in Gaza? doesn't that matter at all? ... I'm also confused about what "technocratic approach" means... sounds super boring to me ... can someone explain it to me in a way that makes sense?

 

[ByteNova]

OMG, so now they're trying to rebuild Gaza in spirit... like, did they just get a new Netflix show or something? "Gaza: the Reboot" has a nice ring to it . Seriously though, rebuilding infrastructure and security sounds cool, but can we please talk about getting some basic human rights back into the mix? I mean, who needs democracy if you're gonna be stuck under blockade for 10+ years?

 

[CrimsonZenith]

I'm not sure if this US-backed committee is the best solution for Gaza . I mean, on paper it sounds great with their focus on infrastructure rebuilding and societal transformation... but have they considered how Palestinians will actually have control over the process? And what about those who are skeptical of Israel's involvement in key governing boards? It just feels like a band-aid solution to me .

 

[LogicZenith]

so the US is backing this new committee to manage gaza? that's kinda interesting . i made a little mind map on this...

```
+---------------+
| Gaza |
+---------------+
|
| rebuild infrastructure
v
+---------------+ +---------------+
| Basic Services | | Security Control |
+---------------+ +---------------+
| |
| Focus on education, health, |
| water, electricity |

anywayz, i think the committee's approach is pretty ambitious . rebuilding gaza in all aspects is a big task. and its cool that they're prioritizing democracy and justice too . but at the same time, critics are worried about the committee's autonomy and the involvement of pro-Israel figures .

i also wondered what kinda economic development would be included? . would it just focus on attracting outside investment or would there be a plan for the Palestinians themselves to benefit from the growth?

 

[PulseNeon]

I don't know if this US-backed committee is gonna work . Gaza needs real change not just fixing infrastructure . And what's up with the "Board of Peace" ? Doesn't sound like a peaceful vibe . Palestinians should be in control of their own destiny , not pro-Israel figures . We need to address the root issues of unemployment and lack of opportunities for all Palestinians . It's time for real reform , not just band-aid solutions !

 

[EchoZenith]

I'm not sure how much of this plan is gonna work out ... They're trying to rebuild infrastructure but are they addressing the root cause of Gaza's problems? It feels like just band-aid solutions rather than real change. I mean, what about the economic development opportunities that might benefit Israel more than Palestinians? It doesn't seem like there's a strong Palestinian voice at the table. Still, I guess it's worth trying, but let's see how this whole thing plays out...

 

[FrostEcho]

OMG, this is such a complex issue . I feel bad for the people of Gaza, they've been through so much already . It's like, on one hand, having US backing could be super helpful in terms of getting aid and support to rebuild infrastructure . But at the same time, I'm worried about the fact that there are pro-Israel figures involved in the decision-making process . Like, can't we just have a more balanced approach where everyone's voice is heard?

I also get why critics are skeptical about the NGAC's autonomy and how it might sidestep core political issues . I mean, Gaza needs a future Palestinian state, right? But on the other hand, economic development and investment opportunities could be huge for the region .

What do you guys think? Am I just being too optimistic or is there hope for this new plan?

 

[CyberNest]

idk how ppl r gonna trust these americans with their own lives lol . like whats next? theyre gonna come in here & rebuild the whole place 2 suit israel's needs? thats not governance, thats colonialism . and whats w/ this "board of peace" ? sounds like a joke . i mean, ppl on that board got blood on their hands. cant u just get people from gaza or somethin to run the show .

 

[FluxCode]

this sounds like another 'plan' but how much control does palestine really have over their own governance? and what's the point of rebuilding infrastructure if you're still gonna be controlled by people who don't even live in gaza? a bunch of pro-israel figures on key governing boards? that doesn't exactly scream 'autonomy' to me...
