The White House announced this Friday afternoon some members of the so-called "Peace Board", the body that will temporarily govern the Gaza Strip and supervise the ceasefire achieved by President Donald Trump last October.
Among the names that make up this body, the following stand out: Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. Trump himself is the chairman of the board, following a plan that the U.S. government released on the same day the truce was signed.
Although the White House did not detail the responsibilities of each member of the board, Trump's administration said that more members will be announced in the coming weeks. So far, no Palestinian is part of this body.
Other names that make up the Board
Billionaire Marc Rowan, World Bank President Ajay Banga, and Robert Gabriel, a Trump adviser, are other founding names that make up the body. Nickolay Mladenov, a Bulgarian career diplomat with extensive experience in the international field, was confirmed as the Board's director general.
