**Draft Plan Proposes International Authority for Gaza Governance** A leaked document suggests that foreign billionaires could play a significant role in governing Gaza after the ongoing conflict ends. The draft outlines a structure for the proposed "Gaza International Transitional Authority" (GITA), which would take temporary control of the region. This plan was created by the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, a think tank led by the former British prime minister. The document, which has been updated since its initial draft, has influenced U.S. President Donald Trump's 20-point plan for Gaza. The proposal details the potential governance structure and the individuals who may oversee the lives of Gazans in the near future. Trump's peace plan, unveiled during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, did not explicitly mention GITA. However, it indicated that a "temporary transitional" committee would govern Gaza, overseen by an "international transitional body" referred to as "The Board of Peace." According to the leaked document, GITA would be led by a board of seven to ten members, including prominent international figures with expertise in finance and executive leadership. Potential board members mentioned in the plan include Egyptian billionaire Naguib Sawiris and American private equity billionaire Marc Rowan. Rabbi Aryeh Lightstone, CEO of the Abraham Accord Peace Institute, was also suggested as a possible member. The individuals named in the document reportedly did not know their names were being considered for such roles. The plan stipulates that at least one Palestinian representative would be included on the board, provided they meet unspecified qualifications, potentially from the business or security sectors. The chairman of GITA would lead a compact team of 25 personnel. The structure would also feature a specialized security force dedicated to protecting GITA's leadership. Under the governing board, five commissioners would oversee key areas: Humanitarian, Reconstruction, Legal and Legislative, Security Oversight, and Palestinian Authority Coordination. Their roles would involve thematic supervision and coordination within their respective domains. The draft also proposes the establishment of an "International Stabilisation Force" (ISF) that would work with Egyptian and Israeli security forces to manage Gaza's borders. This force would be tasked with preventing the resurgence of armed groups and ensuring the safety of humanitarian and reconstruction efforts. Additionally, it would handle counterterrorism and respond to high-risk threats. As the situation in Gaza continues to evolve, the implications of this proposed governance structure remain uncertain, particularly regarding the level of Palestinian input in decisions affecting their lives.
