Israel said on Saturday that the Trump administration’s announcement on the composition of a new Gaza executive board was made without coordination and contradicts Israeli government policy.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said Foreign Minister Gideon Saar would raise the issue with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The statement did not specify which elements of the board Israel objects to, and an Israeli government spokesperson declined to provide further details.
The executive board, unveiled by the White House on Friday, includes Foreign Minister of Türkiye Hakan Fidan, a choice Israel has previously opposed given its long-standing rejection of any Turkish role in Gaza.
Other members named to the board include Sigrid Kaag, the United Nations special coordinator for the Middle East peace process; an Israeli-Cypriot billionaire; and a minister from the United Arab Emirates, which normalised relations with Israel in 2020.
Washington also announced this week the launch of the second phase of President Donald Trump’s Gaza plan, first unveiled in September, aimed at ending the war. The phase includes the creation of a transitional technocratic Palestinian administration in the enclave.
The Trump administration also named the first members of the so-called Board of Peace, which will be chaired by Trump and tasked with overseeing Gaza’s temporary governance. Members include Marco Rubio, billionaire developer Steve Witkoff, and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.
