Agreement Reached for 15-Member Committee of Technocrats to Govern the Gaza Strip

An agreement has been reached to form a 15-member Palestinian technocratic committee that will take over the administration of the Gaza Strip, according to Donald Trump's peace plan. The committee will operate under the supervision of a Peace Council, chaired by Trump himself. Talks in Cairo also concerned the ceasefire agreement, Israeli violations, and the reopening of the Rafah border crossing for the entry of humanitarian aid. Fatah and Hamas are called upon to agree on the name of the committee's president, to ensure their unified support. Hamas has stated that it does not seek to play a role in the future governance of Gaza.
