Reports on the appointment of a Palestinian committee to administer Gaza.. Who is nominated to head it?

The "New York Times" quoted informed sources as saying that the Trump administration may announce today a Palestinian technocrat committee to oversee daily tasks in Gaza. The sources added that Ali Shaath, the former Palestinian Deputy Minister of Planning, was chosen to head the committee. They clarified that many insiders familiar with the plans related to the Gaza Strip file expect the announcement of this committee today, Wednesday, when Palestinian officials from Hamas and other factions meet in the Egyptian capital for talks. The New York Times indicated that the truce between Israel and Hamas has largely held, while US attempts to persuade many countries to send peacekeeping forces to Gaza have not yielded significant results.

On Tuesday evening, the Islamic Resistance Movement "Hamas" announced the arrival of its leadership delegation, headed by Khalil al-Hayya, the movement's head in the Gaza Strip and head of its negotiating delegation, in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, to hold discussions on completing the implementation of the ceasefire agreement and opening the Rafah crossing. The movement stated in a statement that "discussions with the Egyptian leadership will include completing the implementation of the provisions of the ceasefire agreement and its first phase, including opening the Rafah crossing in both directions." It clarified that "the delegation will also discuss accelerating entry into the second phase, including the formation of the administrative committee, and completing the withdrawal of the occupation from the Gaza Strip." The movement's statement added that the delegation is scheduled to hold meetings with leaders of Palestinian forces and factions to discuss the successive political and field developments in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.

On November 18th, the UN Security Council adopted a US draft resolution on ending the Israeli war in Gaza, allowing for the establishment of a temporary international force until the end of 2027. According to the resolution, Gaza will be administered by a transitional Palestinian technocrat government, operating under the supervision of an executive "Peace Council" led by US President Donald Trump, according to his plan.

On September 29th, Trump announced a 20-point peace plan to end the war in Gaza, including the release of Israeli prisoners, a ceasefire, the disarmament of Hamas, Israel's withdrawal from the Strip, the formation of a technocrat government, and the deployment of an international stabilization force.

The first phase of the agreement came into effect on October 10th, but Israel repeatedly violated it and stalled in moving to its second phase, resulting in the killing and injury of hundreds of Palestinian civilians.

Over two years since October 8th, 2023, the Israeli genocide, with American support, in Gaza has resulted in more than 71,000 Palestinian deaths and 171,000 injuries, most of them children and women, and destruction affecting about 90 percent of civilian infrastructure, with reconstruction costs estimated by the United Nations at about 70 billion dollars.
