UAE Minister Reem Al Hashimy Appointed To White House's Gaza Executive Board

The White House has announced the formation of a National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), "a vital step forward" in implementing phase two of US President Donald Trump's 'Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict ' - a 20-point roadmap to establish lasting peace, stability, reconstruction, and prosperity in the region.

In a press statement, the White House said that a Gaza Executive Board is being established in support of the Office of the High Representative and the NCAG. The Board will help support effective governance and the delivery of best-in-class services that advance peace, stability, and prosperity for the people of Gaza.

The Executive Board members include Reem Al Hashimy, UAE's Minister of State for International Cooperation, alongside Nikolay Mladenov, Director General of the Anwar Gargash Diplomatic Academy in Abu Dhabi, who will serve as a Council member and High Representative for Gaza.

Mladenov will act as the on-the-ground link between the Board of Peace and the NCAG. He will support the Board's oversight of all aspects of Gaza's governance, reconstruction, and development, while ensuring coordination across civilian and security pillars, the White House said.

The Gaza Executive Board formation comes alongside the making of the a 'Board of Peace' that is to supervise the temporary governance of Gaza, which has been under a fragile ceasefire since October.

The names include US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, President Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Trump is the chair of the Board, according to a plan his White House unveiled in October.
