The Israeli cabinet has decided to allow the Board of Peace to enter Gaza, starting in Rafah, and to launch a pilot program to restore basic services in Gaza, provide humanitarian aid and establish shelters in areas not controlled by Hamas.It is made up of the following:  

Chairperson: U.S. President Donald Trump
Founding Executive Members: U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair,-only one not from USA;  financier Marc Rowan-American Billionaire, 



World Bank President Ajay Banga-Ajaypal Singh "Ajay" Banga is an Indian-born American business executive, and National Security Adviser Robert Gabriel. 



 The plan includes the construction of temporary structures that will serve as housing for Gaza residents.

 According to reports, anyone seeking to live in these areas will undergo strict screening procedures to ensure they are not identified with or connected to Hamas terrorists.

 National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir was the only Cabinet member to vote against the move saying, “Hamas did not meet its obligation to demilitarize the Strip and disarm, and therefore we are not obligated to do so either.  (I Nada, may interject that they have given no guarantees that they won't start shooting Israelis, either if left like this-not that their word means anything).  

 "I was also against the ‘20-point plan’ from the beginning", said the minister.  ."The solution in Gaza is to encourage migration.”

 Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said, “This is an international plan. We may not succeed, but we should not be the ones to destroy it.”
