Trump’s Board of Peace planning pilot ‘humanitarian zone’ in south Gaza: official
JERUSALEM: US President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace is planning a pilot “humanitarian zone” in southern Gaza which would aim to accommodate tens of thousands of vetted Palestinian civilians, a board official told AFP.
The official said the zone could act as a “starting point” for the Palestinian technocratic committee meant to assume the day-to-day governance of Gaza’s transitional phase out of war under Trump’s 20-point plan.
The pilot zone, which the board is eyeing for Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, would be secured by multinational troops from the International Stabilization Force (ISF), a fledgling body which operates under the Board of Peace.
The National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), the group of Palestinian technocrats established by the Board of Peace, would carry out screening and access control, supported by the ISF.
