Gaza peace board sets $400M limit for new administration’s financial commitments

The Gaza peace board has said that the future National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) will review and address legitimate financial commitments to suppliers, contractors, and other parties totalling up to $400 million, as part of its roadmap for implementing US President Donald Trump’s Comprehensive Peace Plan for Gaza.

According to the roadmap, the committee will assess legitimate commitments to suppliers, contractors and other parties amounting to no more than $400 million and take steps to address them.

The document said the measures would be implemented gradually over three years in line with priorities set by the NCAG.

It added that any unresolved financial rights, liabilities or claims would be addressed later through a broader Palestinian national process in accordance with Palestinian law.

The roadmap also said that once the NCAG assumes responsibility for Gaza, it will ensure the continuity of civilian institutions and public services, treat civil servants in accordance with Palestinian law, conduct a comprehensive audit of Gaza’s financial and administrative affairs with international support, and protect, recover and administer public assets and resources.

Earlier Friday, US President Donald Trump announced that an agreement had been reached for the complete disarmament of Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza, with Israeli forces set to withdraw in phases as the process advances.

Trump credited Egypt, Qatar and Türkiye with helping broker what he described as a “historic breakthrough”, saying the agreement would be implemented gradually, with an International Stabilisation Force working alongside a new Palestinian police force to assume responsibility for security in Gaza.

Briefing reporters on background Thursday evening, a US official said Türkiye, Qatar and Egypt had been “essential partners” in helping keep the Gaza ceasefire “together” and advancing the deal.
