Gaza’s Prospective Postwar Governor, Samir Hulileh, on His Conditions for Role
Samir Hulileh is backed by U.S., Israel, and Arab League countries to establish governance and aid flow in Gaza after the war, with lobbying efforts documented by the U.S. Justice Department.
- Behind the scenes in recent months, a quiet effort has been underway to position senior Palestinian businessman Samir Hulileh as Gaza governor, promoted by controversial lobbyist Ari Ben-Menashe.
- Late last year during Biden’s final months, the initiative began, gaining momentum in recent weeks after U.S. meetings and Egypt contacts, according to sources.
- Ari Ben-Menashe, lobbyist, filed documents last week showing discussions with officials in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, according to U.S. Justice Department filings.
- Ramallah officials rejected reports of an appointment, warning such engagement aligns with Israel's aim of separating Gaza from the West Bank.
- Looking ahead, he estimates the reconstruction will require $53 billion, with Gulf states expecting US and EU commitments and plans to manage at least 600 aid trucks daily and open four to five crossings.
