Source summary
The White House announced formation of the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) to implement Phase Two of President Trump’s 20-point Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict, naming Dr. Ali Sha’ath to lead the NCAG. A Board of Peace chaired by President Trump with a founding Executive Board (including Marco Rubio, Jared Kushner, Sir Tony Blair, and others) will provide strategic oversight; Nickolay Mladenov is named High Representative and Major General Jasper Jeffers will command an International Stabilization Force (ISF). The United States says it will work with Israel, Arab states, and the international community to support reconstruction, demilitarization, and governance in Gaza.
Latest fact check

Multiple independent reports confirm that Nickolay Mladenov has been appointed to serve as the on‑the‑ground representative for President Trump’s Gaza “Board of Peace” and to work directly with the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG). A BBC report on the Board of Peace cites the White House statement and notes that Mladenov, a former UN Middle East envoy, will be the board’s representative on the ground in Gaza working with the NCAG, matching the described linking role. Al Jazeera likewise reports that Mladenov has been confirmed as director-general of the US‑proposed Board of Peace, tasked with overseeing the transition to the technocratic NCAG-led administration in Gaza, which functionally aligns with serving as a high representative coordinating between the Board and NCAG. Together, these sources corroborate that Mladenov’s designated position is to connect the Board of Peace and the NCAG in Gaza’s governance and reconstruction.

Verdict: True, because credible international reporting based on the White House announcement confirms that Nickolay Mladenov has been appointed to a senior Board of Peace role that explicitly places him on the ground in Gaza, serving as the primary link between the Board of Peace and the NCAG.
