Trump Advances Gaza Peace Plan. In mid-January 2026, the Trump administration advanced its peace plan for Gaza from phrase one to phase two — “from ceasefire to demilitarization, technocratic governance, and reconstruction.” In a White House press statement issued on Jan. 16, President Donald Trump outlined the structure of these next steps:
- A National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) will consist of 15 Palestinian technocrats tasked with leading the “restoration of core public services, the rebuilding of civil institutions, and the stabilization of daily life in Gaza, while laying the foundation for long-term, self-sustaining governance.”
- A “founding Executive Board,” operating under the Board of Peace to advance President Trump’s peace plan, will include Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, former Senior Advisor to the President Jared Kushner, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, former U.N. diplomat Nickolay Mladenov, businessman Marc Rowan, World Bank President Ajay Banga, and Assistant to the President for Policy Robert Gabriel. Each board member is slated to oversee “a defined portfolio critical to Gaza’s stabilization and long-term success, including, but not limited to, governance capacity-building, regional relations, reconstruction, investment attraction, large-scale funding, and capital mobilization.”
