Foreign billionaires could be installed on a board that governs all aspects of life in Gaza while Palestinians have little input, according to a draft plan seen by the ABC.
A leaked document has revealed a possible structure for the so-called “Gaza International Transitional Authority” (GITA) which could take temporary control of the strip once the war ends.
The proposal, seen by the ABC, was drafted by the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, a thinktank led by the former British prime minister.
The working document has since been updated and has informed, at least in part, US President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan for the occupied Gaza Strip. The document details what might be in store for the people of Gaza and who could be controlling their lives in the near future.
Under the plan, GITA would have a hierarchical structure led by an international board that “exercises supreme strategic and political authority” and a chairman who leads the entire operation as “senior political executive”.
…
At least one Palestinian representative would be on the board provided they were “qualified”.
The document did not say what qualifications were needed but did say the Palestinian representative could “potentially” come from the business or security sector.

Plan ‘will fail’, critics say
Critics who have seen the draft plan say it does not put Palestinian people first.
John Na’em Snobar, a former diplomat in Egypt and Pakistan, and a Palestinian Christian, said “the people who are sitting around the table are motivated by capital interests”.
Mr Snobar said trade and investment in Gaza was a positive thing, but questioned: “Who is looking out for Palestinian interests in that scenario?”
He also criticised Trump’s 20-point plan saying: “No Palestinian leader I am aware of was consulted … in that sense the great lesson of the Abraham Accords was not learnt. You cannot have peace with Palestinians without Palestinians at the table.”
