Palestinian businessman Samir Halila has been proposed for the administration of Gaza for over a year, based on his independence and administrative experience. Halila has stated that his acceptance of the role is contingent upon approval from the Palestinian Authority and international donors. He emphasized efforts to find a solution to save Gaza from war and destruction. Consultations with the Palestinian Authority have taken place, but Halila has not communicated with Hamas, which has declared it will not participate in Gaza's administration post-conflict. The Egyptian Foreign Minister, Badr Abdel Ati, confirmed that the Gaza Strip's administration will be managed temporarily for six months by 15 Palestinian technocrats under the supervision of the Palestinian Authority. He also noted that achieving political horizons for a Palestinian state is essential to ensure the unity and monopoly of arms by the state. Reports indicate that an Israel-linked lobby is quietly promoting Halila's appointment to govern Gaza after the war.
