The Occupation announces its rejection of Trump's declaration of a "Gaza management committee".. and confirms: it contradicts our policy

In a surprising development that may reshuffle the cards in the region, the office of the Prime Minister of the Israeli Occupation, Benjamin Netanyahu, announced on Saturday its categorical rejection of the declaration issued by US President Donald Trump regarding the formation of the "Executive Committee for the Administration of Gaza" affiliated with the "Peace Council."

The official statement issued by the Israeli Occupation Prime Minister's Office stated that "Israel was not part of the coordination" that led to the announcement of the names of the committee members or its executive tasks. The statement considered that any administrative structure for the Gaza Strip that does not guarantee "full Israeli security control."

This rejection comes hours after Dr. Ali Shaath announced from Cairo the start of the committee's work with American and Arab support. Observers believe that Netanyahu fears that the transformation of the "technocratic committee" into an actual authority may mean: reducing Israeli influence in the reconstruction file and aid distribution.

Pressure to withdraw: International demands began for the occupation to withdraw from the "Netzarim Corridor" and the northern part of the Strip to enable the committee to do its work.

Clash with Trump: This position is the first public confrontation between Netanyahu and the Trump administration in its second term, after months of close coordination.

Attention is now turning to US envoy Steve Witkoff to see if Washington will proceed with supporting the committee despite the Israeli occupation's objection, or if Trump will exert "behind-the-scenes" pressure on Netanyahu to accept this settlement, which was approved by Palestinian factions in Cairo.
