Amjad Shawa Appointed to Lead Gaza Governing Board
Imagine Gaza as a town that had a big fight.
Now, they're trying to figure out who will be in charge and make sure everyone is safe.
Amjad Shawa, who works with international groups, has been chosen by some leaders to run things.
The leaders from different sides met to agree on this.
However, it's not final yet and needs the U.S. to approve it.
Meanwhile, Israel says it will still control security, even though there's talk of other countries sending in help.
Israel says it will decide who gets to help and when they can come.
