Israel objects to the line-up of Gaza governing body: PM's office

Israel said on Saturday it objected to the line-up of the Palestinian committee of technocrats meant to govern post-war Gaza, which began its work in Cairo this week.

"The announcement regarding the composition of the Gaza Executive Board, which is subordinate to the Board of Peace, was not coordinated with Israel and runs contrary to its policy," said a statement from the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

"The Prime Minister has instructed the Foreign Affairs Minister to contact the U.S. Secretary of State on this matter," it added regarding the 15-person committee headed by former Palestinian Authority deputy minister Ali Shaath.
