Overview

• Draft proposals describe a Gaza International Transitional Authority serving as the territory’s supreme political and legal body for up to five years.
• The plan has Trump’s backing, with aides Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff promoting it and presenting elements to leaders during UNGA meetings.
• GITA would start in Egypt’s el‑Arish and deploy into Gaza with a UN‑endorsed multinational stabilisation force, largely from Arab states, to secure borders and deter Hamas’s return.
• The Palestinian Authority and Hamas have not been formally engaged, the handover timetable is unspecified, and Israeli officials have not rejected the idea but remain wary of PA rule.
• Backers say the proposal rules out displacement and seeks Gulf funding, yet it faces legal, political and legitimacy questions, including Palestinian skepticism of Blair’s role.
