The Palestinian executive committee is an interim cabinet proposed in September 2025 as part of the Gaza peace plan to manage day-to-day operations the civil service and administration in the Gaza Strip in the aftermath of the Gaza war.
The Gaza war began in October 2023 following a series of coordinated armed attacks carried out by Hamas and several other Palestinian militant groups in southern Israel on 7 October 2023. United States president Donald Trump proposed a 20-point peace plan in late September 2025, which was accepted by both Hamas and the Israeli government resulting in a ceasefire coming into force in the Gaza Strip on 10 October 2025.
The Gaza peace plan, unveiled by Donald Trump on 29 September 2025, proposed that "Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza".

On 14 October, Egyptian foreign minister Badr Abdelatty stated that fifteen Palestinian technocrats had been chosen to lead a post-war interim administration for the Gaza Strip. He added that the list had been agreed by all Palestinian factions, including Hamas, and had been vetted by Israel. [2]
On 24 October, Hamas announced it was willing to hand "over the administration of the Gaza Strip to a temporary Palestinian committee composed of independent technocrats, which will manage the affairs of life and basic services in cooperation with Arab brothers and international institutions". [3]
On 8 November 2025, vice-president of the Palestinian Authority, Hussein al-Sheikh, stated that the Palestinian Authority and Hamas had agreed that any future Palestinian technical government for the Gaza Strip would be led by a minister suggested by the Palestinian Authority with health minister and former mayor of Gaza City, Maged Abu Ramadan, being named as a possible candidate.
