ชาวกาซาและผู้สังเกตการณ์ในภูมิภาคต่างกังวลเกี่ยวกับ "คณะกรรมการสันติภาพ" ที่จัดตั้งขึ้นใหม่ ซึ่งเป็นองค์ประกอบสำคัญของแผนสันติภาพ 20 ข้อของรัฐบาลทรัมป์สำหรับฉนวนกาซา เนื่องจากโครงสร้างประกอบที่ไม่เป็นไปตามแบบแผนสากล ความลำเอียงที่เห็นได้ชัด และความคืบหน้าอย่างล่าช้าของการหยุดยิงในพื้นที่จริง
แม้ว่าแผนดังกล่าวจะถูกนำเสนอว่าเป็นเส้นทางสู่การฟื้นฟู แต่หลายปัจจัยได้กระตุ้นให้ชาวปาเลสไตน์เกิดความสงสัยอย่างมาก ดังนี้:
1. ความกังวลเกี่ยวกับอธิปไตยและการ "ควบคุมโดยฝ่ายบริหาร"
2. ข้อสงสัยเกี่ยวกับอำนาจหน้าที่ที่แท้จริงของคณะกรรมการ
3. ความไม่ไว้วางใจต่อบุคคลสำคัญ
4. ความเป็นจริงกับวาทศิลป์ในพื้นที่
5. การพลัดถิ่นและการฟื้นฟู

Gazans and regional observers are wary of the newly established "Board of Peace"—a central component of the Trump administration's 20-point Gaza peace plan—due to its unconventional structure, its perceived bias, and the slow progress of the actual ceasefire on the ground.
While the plan is presented as a path toward reconstruction, several factors have fueled deep skepticism among Palestinians:
1. Concerns Over Sovereignty and "Executive Control"
The Board of Peace is chaired by Donald Trump and includes a "Gaza Executive Board" composed of international figures (like Jared Kushner and former UK PM Tony Blair) and billionaire financiers.
Outside Governance: Many Gazans fear this creates a system of "outside rule" where foreign powers and wealthy donors dictate the territory's future rather than Palestinians themselves.
The "Pay-to-Play" Model: The board’s charter allows countries to secure permanent seats for a $1 billion fee. Critics and locals argue this turns the reconstruction of Gaza into a commercialized "club" for the wealthy, rather than a humanitarian effort.
2. Doubts About the Board's True Mandate
Initially framed as a narrow mechanism to oversee Gaza’s reconstruction, the Board's charter has recently expanded to a global scale.
Replacing the UN: Trump has suggested the Board could eventually replace the United Nations, which he has criticized as "unhelpful." For Palestinians, who rely heavily on UN agencies like UNRWA for survival, the prospect of the UN being sidelined in favor of a Trump-run board is alarming.
Lack of Gaza Focus: Observers noted that the latest versions of the Board’s charter barely mention Gaza, leading to fears that the territory is being used as a "testing ground" for a new style of U.S.-led global governance rather than a genuine peace effort.
3. Skepticism Toward Key Figures
The involvement of specific individuals has sparked historical and political distrust:
Jared Kushner & Marco Rubio: Their past stances are viewed by many Palestinians as heavily pro-Israel, leading to fears that the "peace" brokered will heavily favor Israeli security interests over Palestinian statehood.
Tony Blair: His role is particularly controversial in the Arab world due to his involvement in the Iraq War and his perceived bias during his previous tenure as a Middle East envoy.
4. Reality vs. Rhetoric on the Ground
While the administration describes the plan as entering "Phase Two" (reconstruction and governance), the reality on the ground remains grim:
Ongoing Violence: Despite the declared ceasefire, reports indicate that hundreds of Palestinians have been killed in continued skirmishes and strikes since October 2025.
Blocked Aid: Israel has reportedly not yet met its commitment to reopen the Rafah crossing, leaving much of the promised humanitarian aid stalled on the Egyptian border.
Disarmament Deadlock: A major "tripwire" is the demand for Hamas to disarm. Hamas has refused unilateral disarmament while Israel maintains a military presence, leading many to believe the Board's plan is destined for "implementation failure."
5. Displacement and Reconstruction
The sheer scale of the task—estimated at $53 billion to $70 billion—makes Gazans wary of "imaginary" promises. With two million people displaced and an estimated three years required just to clear the rubble, there is a profound lack of faith that a board meeting in Davos can effectively manage the day-to-day survival of people in the Strip.
