US President Donald Trump's administration appointed Shelley Greenspan, a former executive at the pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC and a former Biden administration, to lead external affairs in a strip known as the "Board of Peace," charged with overseeing restructuring efforts. The appointment provoked criticism from advocates of human rights and policy proposals, who warn that the risks in the board legitimize the continuation of the Israeli occupation of Gaza while ignoring the rights of the Palestinians and self-determination.
