The board was conceived of as an &#8220;international transitional body&#8221; that could help oversee a new, technocratic post-Hamas government in the Gaza Strip and fund the Palestinian territory&#8217;s redevelopment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This body will call on best international standards to create modern and efficient governance that serves the people of Gaza and is conducive to attracting investment,&#8221; the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.presidency.ucsb.edu\/documents\/white-house-press-release-president-donald-j-trumps-comprehensive-plan-end-the-gaza\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">peace plan<\/a> said.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefings-statements\/2026\/01\/statement-on-president-trumps-comprehensive-plan-to-end-the-gaza-conflict\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">White House said<\/a> the board would play a role in implementing the Gaza peace deal and &#8220;providing strategic oversight, mobilizing international resources, and ensuring accountability as Gaza transitions from conflict to peace and development.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The board is set to be led by an executive committee that includes Secretary of State Marco Rubio, U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff, Mr. Trump&#8217;s son-in-law Jared Kushner, former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair and World Bank Group President Ajay Banga, among others.<\/p>\n<p>The organization is set to be chaired by Mr. Trump.

The official said it isn&#8217;t a requirement to contribute to become a member.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The official also told CBS News that any contributions will be used to rebuild Gaza and said &#8220;virtually every dollar&#8221; raised will be spent on the Board&#8217;s mandate.
