The National Committee for Gaza Administration (NCAG), a newly formed transitional technocratic body established under UN Security Council Resolution 2803 and President Donald Trump’s 20-point peace plan, held its inaugural meeting in Cairo on 15 January 2026.
The meeting formally launched the committee’s mandate to assume civil administration and internal security responsibilities in Gaza, overseeing stability, recovery and reconstruction until the Palestinian Authority completes its reform programme.
In a statement at the opening session, Commissioner-General Ali Shaath said the committee’s establishment marked a pivotal moment to “turn a tragic page and begin a new chapter,” stressing that it is “a Palestinian body, created by Palestinians for Palestinians,” with the support of the PLO, the Palestinian Authority and Palestinian factions. He added that rebuilding Gaza goes beyond infrastructure to restoring dignity, stability and a just, sustainable peace.
The committee comprises Palestinian professionals appointed to lead the transitional administration:
Abdul Karim Ashour, Agriculture
Omar Shamali, Communications and Digital Services
Aed Abu Ramadan, Economy, Industry and Trade
Jabr Al-Daour, Education
Bashir Al-Rais, Finance
Aed Yaghi, Health
Sami Nasman, Interior and Internal Security
Adnan Abu Warda, Justice
Osama Al-Saadaoui, Land and Housing
Hanaa Terzi, Social Security
Ali Barhoum, Water, Utilities and Local Authorities
As its first official act, Shaath endorsed and signed the NCAG “Mission Statement,” committing the committee—under the guidance of the Trump-led “Peace Council” and with support from the “High Representative for Gaza”—to restoring security, basic services such as electricity, water, healthcare and education, rebuilding institutions, and laying the foundations for a productive economy, transparency, democracy and the rule of law.
The committee expressed gratitude to President Trump for what it described as decisive leadership, and praised the key roles of regional partners, including Egypt, Qatar and Turkey, in mediation and stabilisation efforts.
Following their appointment, commissioners began planning to expand humanitarian aid, restore public services, rebuild critical infrastructure, reform justice and security institutions under the principle of one authority, one law and one weapon, and establish the basis for long-term economic growth and sustainable governance.
The meeting concluded with a renewed commitment to the people of Gaza and to building institutions that ensure dignity, justice and hope for all Palestinians.
