National Committee for the Administration of Gaza

Trump's Board of Peace plans a pilot Gaza 'humanitarian zone' in Rafah, secured by the International Stabilization Force (ISF) and managed by the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG). Critics suggest the plan may violate international humanitarian law.

Hamas announced it would hand over governance of Gaza to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, a body established under Donald Trump’s Board of Peace, to shift responsibility for peace negotiations to the US and Israel. Israel dismissed the move as a 'trick' and may resume attacks, citing Hamas’s refusal to surrender arms. Over 1,000 people have been killed in Gaza since a 2025 ceasefire, with Israel accused of genocide and occupying 70% of the territory.

Belgium may recognize Palestinian statehood following Hamas's agreement to relinquish control of Gaza, a key condition set by Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot. The move aligns with recent recognitions by Spain, Ireland, Norway, the UK, Canada, Australia, France, and Portugal.

Hamas has dissolved its Gaza government, signaling cooperation with US President Donald Trump's peace plan. The move aims to transition governance to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), part of a 2025 US-brokered ceasefire deal. Israel continues attacks on Gaza, complicating the transition.

A Palestinian technocratic committee established by the Board of Peace, set up by US President Donald Trump, stated it is ready to govern Gaza after Hamas dissolved its ruling body. The committee, led by Ali Shaath, affirmed it is prepared to assume administrative responsibilities once necessary resources are available.

Hamas announced the dissolution of its Gaza governing body to transition power to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), a technocratic committee. The move follows a 2025 US-brokered ceasefire with Israel but remains stalled over unresolved issues like Hamas's disarmament and Israeli military presence in Gaza.

Hamas is preparing to dissolve the Gaza Strip administration it has governed for nearly two decades. The move aims to transition governance to a technocratic body composed of various Palestinian factions, with a consensus figure overseeing the transition until the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza assumes control.

The Gaza interim administration concluded two days of 'highly productive' talks in Cyprus with experts from the Board of Peace, the Office of the High Representative for Gaza, and the Tony Blair Institute. The discussions focused on reconstruction, security, governance, and institutional arrangements to ensure transparency and accountability for international donors.

Trump’s Gaza Board of Peace will meet in Cyprus on June 30 to adjust its strategy after the Iran war shifted focus. The meeting includes representatives from the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza and Nikolay Mladenov’s office, with Cyprus attending as an observer. The Board, facing funding and legitimacy challenges, aims to address the ongoing crisis in Gaza.

Trump's Gaza committee remains ineffective and paralyzed by Israel, despite its inaugural meeting in Cairo on January 18, 2026, led by Ali Shaath, the committee's president.
