The Palestinian National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) concluded two days of "highly productive" talks in Cyprus aimed at addressing the humanitarian crisis and rebuilding the territory.
The committee, which is tasked with administering post-war Gaza, met with experts and advisers from the Board of Peace, the Office of the High Representative for Gaza, and the Tony Blair Institute. Discussions focused on immediate projects to alleviate suffering and reviewed comprehensive plans for reconstruction, security, and governance.
A key outcome was the development of a framework to ensure transparency and accountability for international donors contributing to Gaza's rebuilding efforts. The NCAG reaffirmed its commitment to a 20-point plan initiated by US President Donald Trump and expressed readiness to assume responsibilities in coordination with the Board of Peace.
Progress on the US-backed initiative has been slow, with the Board of Peace's reconstruction fund reportedly lacking funds despite pledged billions. The International Stabilisation Force for Gaza has also not yet been assembled. The Board of Peace, established by Trump, aims to facilitate a transition away from Hamas rule, though major European nations have not joined.
