In a special edition of Context, Orkhan Amashov reports from Washington on the inaugural meeting of the Board of Peace, examining plans for Gaza’s reconstruction, a proposed stabilisation force, and the wider diplomatic impact of the U.S.-led initiative.
On the programme, he is joined by AnewZ's correspondent in Washington, D.C., Oubai Shahbandar. They examine the reconstruction of Gaza, the establishment of an international stabilisation force, and how the Board intends to coordinate humanitarian aid and governance in the war-affected region.
The discussion also considers the wider implications of the U.S.-led initiative for global diplomacy, the Board’s U.S.-centred approach, and the complex challenge of achieving consensus among twenty-three heads of state and government. Amashov and Shahbandar offer insight into how the Board’s decisions could shape the geopolitical landscape, influence multilateral diplomacy, and affect the future of international peacekeeping.
How quickly can Gaza be rebuilt? Can member states work together effectively? And, in the long term, could this initiative reshape - or even replace - the traditional role of the United Nations?
Watch the full discussion in the YouTube video above for answers direct from Washington.
