Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Simultaneously with the American-Israeli aggression against Iran, "Nikolai Mladenov," the high representative of the alleged US "Peace Council," informed members of the administrative committee formed to manage the Gaza Strip that the financial fund allocated to this sector had been completely "empty."
This was after the $17 billion that had been collected to support the aforementioned council and rebuild Gaza was withdrawn for Israel's benefit.
Mladenov told the committee that US President Donald Trump had transferred to Israel the amount “to provide relief aid and pay for the committee’s start-up budget in Gaza” as agreed at the Davos conference last January.
Sources familiar with the matter told the Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar that, following the same conference, the committee’s chairman, Ali Shaath, had received promises to provide financial assistance to some 350,000 families; as well as promises of $500 to a number of “electors, prominent figures and local elders” to participate in tribal committees in the regions; and to import some 20,000 shelters, initially for vital sectors, particularly education and health. However, none of these promises were fulfilled, due to what Mladenov described as “the lack of a comprehensive vision” and “the lack of financial resources” transferred to Israel by Washington during the US-Israeli war against Iran.
According to the report, the financial arrangements were accompanied by logistical arrangements, including renting a building for the committee and agreeing with the Al-Mishtal Hotel in Gaza to allocate a location for its activities, after receiving a comprehensive list of usable government buildings. However, the committee, on Mladenov’s own orders, refused to operate in any of those locations; it was also forbidden to set a date for the committee members to enter Gaza and begin their activities. For this reason, the committee has remained in its Cairo residence to this day, according to the sources.
Meanwhile, the sources revealed that Mladenov had promised Shaath that he would soon be transferred to his new position in Israel, while continuing to work from his office in the UAE. Correspondence seen by the sources indicated that the committee’s entry into Gaza and the commencement of its responsibilities “are subject to arrangements to be made under Mladenov’s personal supervision”; A situation that reflects a centralized, top-down management that controls all the details and keeps things in suspense while waiting for an external green light.
In contrast, the arrangements that Mladenov authorized were limited to security measures, including preparations for the recruitment of new police forces and the development of a temporary emergency plan that does not include current Gaza staff.
Before Mladenov’s meeting with the committee, the committee had held a meeting chaired by Shaath with a member of the “Peace Council” and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who had previously been mentioned as a possible overseer of the committee’s work.
