The National Committee for Gaza Management (NGAC) has released a mission statement detailing its priorities for Gaza’s future administration. Established under a US-backed ceasefire plan, the NGAC aims to restore essential services and establish security in the region. The committee operates under the direction of a 'board of peace' led by US President Donald Trump, which includes pro-Israel figures. Since October 7, 2023, the death toll in Gaza has reached 71,548 amid ongoing Israeli strikes. The NGAC faces significant challenges, including skepticism from Palestinians regarding its autonomy and concerns that its technocratic approach may overlook critical political issues, such as the establishment of a Palestinian state.
