Trumpâs Board of Peace drops full Gaza recovery plan in favour of tiny pilot scheme
Revised plan aims to âkeep something goingâ amid fears Netanyahu may gamble on new all-out offensive before Israeli elections The Gaza recovery plan being pursued by Donald Trumpâs Board of Peace (BoP) has shrunk dramatically from an ambitious blueprint for the reconstruction of the whole territory to a small pilot project in the south of the strip. Even the envisaged pilot scheme â involving a temporary camp for a tiny fraction of Gazaâs 2 million displaced people, with a Palestinian administration, police and a small international security force â is not expected to take shape before the end of the year. Incremental steps have been announced in recent weeks. A few Moroccan and Kosovan officers have arrived in Israel where they are intended to be the kernel of an International Stabilization Force (ISF), tasked with protecting the pilot camp. A logistical base for this future force to store vehicles, equipment and other material is nearing completion at the Kerem Shalom crossing between Israel and Gaza. However, preparatory work on the pilot camp near the southern Gaza of city of Rafah has not begun, nor has construction of the campâs ISF support base. Satellite image
