Israel has reportedly agreed to a Trump administration proposal to establish a temporary governing committee of Palestinian technocrats to administer Gaza once Hamas is removed from power. The plan is part of Washington’s broader effort to advance phase two of its Gaza framework, which seeks to avoid governance by either Hamas or the Palestinian Authority while stabilizing the territory during an interim period. According to regional reporting, the United States and Israel have jointly vetted and approved a list of candidates for the proposed committee, marking a notable shift after years of Israeli resistance to Palestinian involvement in post-war Gaza governance.

The proposal, however, is already facing internal resistance. During talks in Cairo with an Egyptian delegation led by intelligence chief Majed Faraj, senior Palestinian Authority officials warned that a committee formed under U.S. and Israeli direction would lack “Palestinian national legitimacy” and could fail outright. Discussions also included the possible reopening of the Rafah crossing under a security model similar to the post-2005 arrangement, with PA personnel and European monitors. For prophecy watchers, the maneuvering underscores the fragile and contested nature of any “day after” plan for Gaza—where political legitimacy, security realities, and regional pressure collide, keeping the region on a knife’s edge.
