US President Donald Trump is expected this week to name global leaders for a “Board of Peace” to administer his ambitious post-war plan for Gaza, officials say, even as a standoff between Israel and Hamas raised doubts about the prospects for success.

Made up mainly of fellow heads of government or state and chaired by Trump, the board is designed to drive the transformation of the shattered Palestinian enclave as outlined by Trump’s 20-point plan. The intention is to help form an interim government to replace Hamas and to attract a foreign security force as well as funds.
