Studies Center: Technocrat Committee Funds Must Be Tied to Practical Achievements

A research paper by the Palestinian Center for Political Studies questions the viability of the financial model of the National Committee for Gaza Management, revealing a gap between announced funding and field results, and calls for linking funds to achievements.

The Palestinian Center for Political Studies has released a new research paper examining the financial structure and governance of the National Committee for Gaza Management. The paper, prepared by researcher Khaled Abu Amer, covers the period from January to September 2026 and reveals a paradox between the committee's formation to manage civilian sectors and its continued operation from Cairo without actual field presence. The paper indicates that the committee's announced activities focused on diplomatic meetings, without documented developmental or relief projects inside the sector. The study examines the financial structure, noting pledges of about $17 billion at the Peace Council meeting, versus the failure of funds to reach the GRAD fund. It also notes the allocation of funds to a special account at JPMorgan Chase, raising oversight issues. The paper addresses committee member salaries ranging between $16,000 and $17,000 per month, and calls for linking funding to clear performance indicators.
