Bouvard on Gaza's Board of Peace Governance

"The Board of Peace will play an essential role in fulfilling all 20 points of the President’s plan, providing strategic oversight, mobilizing international resources, and ensuring accountability as Gaza transitions from conflict to peace and development."

Each ... Board member will oversee a defined portfolio critical to Gaza’s stabilization and long-term success, including, but not limited to, governance capacity-building, regional relations, reconstruction, investment attraction, large-scale funding, and capital mobilization.

None of this suggests that the "Board" will be responsible for anything on the ground in Gaza, and it all assumes that Hamas is disarmed and Gaza is being governed by someone else. So I'm going to assume that the stated purpose of the BoP is not its real purpose.

And if I have to guess at its real purpose, it's some kind of reshuffling of global elites, PR and quite a bit of patronage, which is to say, money laundering. This is certainly not something built to last.

Of course the "patronage" might be a way of paying off the Gulf States and Turkey in exchange for not objecting to demolishing the Islamic Republic. We'll see if that explanation retains plausibility.
