Trump’s Board of Peace faces headwinds from allies as mandate appears broader than Gaza
President Donald Trump is set to hold a formal signing ceremony to establish his much-anticipated Gaza Board of Peace during his visit to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The invitation for the ceremony has been circulating online, with allies questioning their participation in the board.
The White House has been contacted for comments on the matter.
Last Friday, Trump announced the creation of the Gaza Board of Peace, which will be responsible for overseeing the reconstruction and rebuilding of the devastated Gaza Strip. However, the draft of the charter circulating online does not directly reference the region, leading to a cautious response from government officials who speculate that the board may have broader objectives.
Trump, who will serve as the chair of the board, described it on Truth Social as “the Greatest and Most Prestigious Board ever assembled at any time, any place,” although specific details about its functions remain unclear.
Several countries, including Argentina, Belarus, Canada, Australia, Egypt, Hungary, Pakistan, Jordan, Turkey, Israel, and India, have reportedly received invitations to join the board. However, their leaders have not made public statements endorsing the initiative.
The Kremlin confirmed that Russian President Vladimir Putin has also been invited to join the board. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Moscow is reviewing the proposal and hopes to clarify all details with Washington.
The United States is expected to announce the official list of board members in the coming days.
Looking ahead, the newly formed technocratic committee is preparing to govern Gaza and work with Hamas to ensure safety and prioritize peace in the region. The committee will focus on collaboration and planning to effectively manage the reconstruction efforts and promote stability in Gaza.
