Trump’s Board of Peace Engages DP World on Gaza Reconstruction

Middle Eastern outlets highlight Hamas’s rejection of disarmament before any Gaza deal is implemented, casting this as a direct clash with conditions pushed by other parties. They present Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ talks with DP World as part of a Gulf‑backed reconstruction push that could reshape control over Gaza’s ports and infrastructure. Commentators in this block question whether Trump‑aligned envoys are bypassing Palestinian demands and existing UN‑linked reconstruction plans.

• •Hamas leaders insist that disarmament before implementation of a Gaza deal contradicts Trump’s own plan as they understand it.
• •Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ has approached DP World to explore managing or rebuilding Gaza’s port and logistics network.
• •Gulf investment in Gaza reconstruction could give UAE‑linked firms long‑term influence over the territory’s trade routes.
• •Palestinian groups fear that reconstruction deals may be agreed without fully addressing political demands such as lifting the blockade.
• •Regional commentators warn that sidelining Hamas’s conditions could fuel internal Palestinian divisions over any Trump‑linked plan.
