Cairo: Palestine's Gaza national committee has begun its action to run the Strip from Cairo, confirming its unwavering obligation to cement security and resume basic services like electricity, water, education, and healthcare.
According to Kuwait News Agency, the 20-point transitional technocratic body, formed upon the UN Security Council Resolution No. 2803 and US President Donald Trump's peace plan, held its inaugural meeting in Cairo on January 15. The meeting was led by general commissioner Dr. Ali Shaath as a key step toward achieving stability and rebuilding the Strip.
The committee officially announced its mandate to take civil responsibilities and internal security in the Strip.

The committee comprises a group of Palestinian technicians and experts chosen to manage the transition. The statement mentioned individuals like Abdulkarim Ashour for agriculture, Omar Shamaly for communication and digital services, Dr. Bashir Al-Rayes for finance, and Sami Nesman for interior and internal security.
