Israel Says US Gaza Executive Board Composition Against Its Policy
Share
Category: ISRAEL, JERUSALEM & THE TEMPLE
Summary:
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office stated that the Trump administration’s announcement of a Gaza executive board was made without coordination and contradicts Israeli government policy. Foreign Minister Gideon Saar plans to address the matter with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The new board includes Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, whose involvement Israel opposes, along with U.N. envoy Sigrid Kaag, an Israeli-Cypriot billionaire, and a UAE minister. The announcement coincides with the launch of the second phase of Trump’s plan to end the Gaza conflict, which involves creating a transitional Palestinian administration overseen by a “Board of Peace” chaired by Trump and including Rubio, developer Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner.

Commentary:
Discussions and proposals concerning Gaza continue without Israel’s full consent. This is not a distant dispute—people living in this land feel the international pressure directly.
