Who Benefited

Donor governments, private reconstruction contractors, and political allies who secure influence over contracts and governance arrangements will likely benefit from the Board's coordination and funding decisions.

Who Impacted

Critics warn Palestinian residents of Gaza and multilateral institutions risk being sidelined if the Board assumes governance and reconstruction control, diminishing established UN-led processes and local agency.
