Members of a newly formed Palestinian technocrat to be involved in running Gaza

Formation of Palestinian Technocratic Committee for Gaza Management

Members of a newly established Palestinian technocratic committee, responsible for administering Gaza during the second phase of the ceasefire agreement, convened in Cairo on Fri, Oct 6, 2023.

Ali Shaath, a former deputy minister in the Palestinian Authority, presided over the meeting and is set to lead the committee.

The technocratic committee will manage public services for over 2 million residents in Gaza. This will occur under the supervision of a "Board of Peace," led by US President Donald Trump. Members of this board have yet to be appointed.

Challenges to Ceasefire Implementation

Following the US announcement of the second phase initiation, the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas encounters several obstacles. These include the deployment of an international security force for supervision and the disarmament of Hamas.

The conflict has resulted in significant casualties, particularly in Gaza, with reports indicating at least 3,000 Palestinian lives lost after the October attack.
