The Palestinian committee managing Gaza, formed under US President Donald Trump's peace plan and a UN Security Council Resolution, has signed a deal with Germany's international development agency, GIZ, to aid postwar recovery and reconstruction. The agreement, signed in Cairo by the committee's leader Ali Shaath and GIZ's country director, Alexander Zschocke, establishes a framework for technical assistance on reconstruction, public institutions, and essential services.
The committee, overseen by the Board of Peace led by Shaath, aims to restore public services and civilian administration. However, Israel's refusal to permit the committee to enter Gaza, along with restrictions on equipment and supplies, is hindering recovery efforts. The agreement covers various sectors including municipal services, social protection, education, employment, water, agriculture, and energy.
Despite the lack of specific funding commitment, project details, or implementation timeline, the committee intends to lead the implementation based on Gaza's urgent needs in coordination with Palestinian institutions.
