Indian-American President of the World Bank Group, Ajay Banga, and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio are among the leaders named to the ‘Board of Peace’ for Gaza redevelopment under President Donald Trump’s comprehensive plan to end the conflict on Friday.

The list of appointed members to the founding Executive Board of the Board of Peace, which it said comprises leaders with “experience across diplomacy, development, infrastructure, and economic strategy”. 


“Each Executive Board member will oversee a defined portfolio critical to Gaza’s stabilisation and long-term success, including, but not limited to, governance capacity-building, regional relations, reconstruction, investment attraction, large-scale funding, and capital mobilisation,” the White House said. 



It added that additional Executive Board and Gaza Executive Board members will be announced in the coming weeks. Trump has called on all parties to cooperate fully with the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), the Board of Peace, and the ISF to ensure swift implementation of the plan.
