According to a report in the TOI, the UAE transferred $100 million to the Board of Peace to fund a new Palestinian police force for Gaza, the largest transfer received so far by the US-led body overseeing Gaza’s postwar management.

The force would reportedly operate under the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), help collect weapons in the Strip, and train in Egypt and Jordan. An Emirati security firm has reportedly been tasked with building a force of roughly 27,000 officers.

Applicants who previously served as Hamas civil servants would require Shin Bet vetting before approval.
