Overview
- An initial executive panel was announced with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, Tony Blair, World Bank president Ajay Banga, financier Marc Rowan, and NSC official Robert Gabriel, with President Donald Trump as chair.
- Nickolay Mladenov was named high representative for Gaza, and Ali Shaath will lead a Palestinian technocratic committee tasked with day‑to‑day governance under the plan.
- Israel’s prime minister’s office said the Gaza Executive Board announcement was not coordinated with Jerusalem and runs contrary to Israeli policy, directing the foreign minister to raise the issue with Rubio.
- A draft charter reported by Bloomberg links permanent membership to a $1 billion contribution in the first year and vests broad powers in the chairman, including decision approval and member removal, though the White House rejected the notion of a fixed membership fee.
- Invitation letters went to multiple leaders including Javier Milei, Mark Carney, and Recep Tayyip Erdogan, but key implementation pieces such as funding pledges, force contributions to an International Stabilization Force, and demilitarization steps remain unsettled.
