In a step described as historic, the head of the Palestinian National Committee for the Administration of the Gaza Strip, Ali Shaath, announced the official start of the committee's work from the Egyptian capital, Cairo. This launch comes as a result of a comprehensive mandate from the Palestinian leadership and with broad factional consensus, supported by an international umbrella and direct endorsement from America, establishing a transitional phase aimed at ending decades of division and addressing the effects of aggression resulting from the "occupation's" policies in the Strip.
The formation of this committee is based on solid international legal foundations, as it resulted from UN Security Council Resolution No. 2803.
The committee's objectives intersect with the new regional vision adopted by America within President "Trump's" 20-point peace plan, which seeks to find a radical solution to the humanitarian and political crisis. Historically, this move represents a fundamental turning point in the relationship between Ramallah and Gaza, as the Palestinian leadership relies on the committee to be a "vital link" paving the way towards the embodiment of an independent Palestinian state, and ending the state of singularity or political fragmentation that the "occupation" has long exploited to obstruct the path of liberation.
In an interview with Egyptian media, Ali Shaath revealed that the committee includes 15 Palestinian figures chosen based on criteria of "professionalism and moderation," who have extensive experience in development and relief work. The committee's mandate will extend for two years as a transitional phase, focusing primarily on:
The humanitarian file: compensating the most affected groups, such as women and children, for years of siege and displacement.
Reconstruction: implementing the provisions of the peace plan to alleviate the burden of the living crisis.
Government handover: coordinating with the Hamas movement, which has expressed its readiness to hand over government files to ensure smooth operation.
Shaath stated: "Our top priority is to bring back the smile to the children of Gaza and heal the wounds of a people who have suffered from the shocks of war." He also praised the pivotal role of the Arab Republic of Egypt, thanking the Egyptian President and government for "overcoming obstacles" and hosting this event that will lay the foundation for rebuilding Gaza.
These developments come after Washington announced the start of the second phase of its plan to end the war, which puts the "National Committee" to a real test before the international community. The committee's success in extending its administrative authority and improving living conditions will be the cornerstone of any future political settlement. This step is expected to reduce the "occupation's" arguments for maintaining the siege, and open the door for the flow of investments and international aid into the Strip. The biggest challenge remains the extent of commitment to timelines and the ability to withstand field challenges, but strong support from "America" and the guaranteeing Egyptian role give this initiative opportunities for success that were not available to its predecessors.
Our top priority is to bring back the smile to the children of Gaza and heal the wounds of a people who have suffered from the shocks of war.
