The board will also be able to establish a multinational military force to administer security in the Strip until the Palestinian Authority undergoes significant reform

A leaked copy of the draft UN resolution on the future of Gaza reportedly gives the US and its partners a "broad mandate" over the territory for two years.
The resolution would likely be put forward in the event that the next phase of the Trump-backed 20-point peace plan was agreed by Israel and Hamas.
According to the draft, as reported by Axios, the proposed International Stabilisation Force (ISF), made up of troops from several regional partners but not the US itself, would provide border security and train Palestinian police.
Its mission will also reportedly include "the destruction and prevention of rebuilding of military, terror, and offensive infrastructure, as well as the permanent decommissioning of weapons from non-state armed groups".
The resolution also reportedly calls for the planned Board of Peace (BoP), chaired by US President Trump, to establish a "transitional governance administration with international legal personality".
This would effectively give it temporary governance powers "until such time as the Palestinian Authority has satisfactorily completed its reform programme".
The transitional government would facilitate the “reconstruction of Gaza and of economic recovery programmes”, which would be “funded through voluntary contributions from donors and BoP funding vehicles and governments”.
Per Axios, the resolution sets out a mandate of two years for this process to be completed, with authorisation extended until December 31, 2027.
The resolution also reportedly “calls upon Member States and international organisations to work with the BoP to identify opportunities to contribute personnel, equipment, and financial resources to its operating entities and the ISF, to provide technical assistance to its operating entities and the ISF, and to give full recognition to its legal acts and documents”.
The draft was apparently sent to UN Security Council members yesterday for consideration, with some amendments understood to be likely.
The makeup of the ISF in particular is expected to be a point of contention, with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu reportedly seeing any participation of Turkish troops as a “red line”, due to the country’s consistent anti-Israel rhetoric.
Netanyahu has publicly said that there would be “no involvement” of Turkish soldiers in Gaza under the post-war plan.
Meanwhile, US Vice President JD Vance confirmed that Israel will have veto power over any potential troop deployments on its own territory.
"We’re not going to force anything on our Israeli friends when it comes to foreign troops on their soil,” he said during a vist to Israel last month.
But he did not explicitly rule out Turkey sending troops to Gaza and said it had a "constructive role" to play in the process.
"Frankly, they’ve already played a very constructive role; we’re very grateful for that," he added.
