Representatives for Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace” have held discussions with DP World about managing supply chains and other infrastructure projects in Gaza, according to three people familiar with the matter.
The talks examined whether the state-owned Dubai multinational could enter into a partnership with the “Board of Peace” to run much of the logistics for humanitarian aid and other goods entering the devastated Palestinian enclave, including warehousing, tracking systems and security.
Other ideas floated included having the United Arab Emirates company, a big global player in container shipping and port terminals, build a new port in either Gaza or on the nearby Egyptian coast, as well as develop a free-trade zone in the war-shattered strip.
