U.S. President Donald Trump revealed on Wednesday that an announcement regarding the world leaders who will serve on the Gaza Board of Peace is expected early next year.
This follows the establishment of the board under a fragile ceasefire plan designed to ease tensions between Israel and Hamas militants.
Speaking during an economic event at the White House Roosevelt Room, Trump shared that a wide range of global leaders, including kings, presidents, and prime ministers, have expressed interest in serving on the Board of Peace. The initiative, part of Trump's broader peace efforts in the region, aims to stabilize Gaza and facilitate its rebuilding after years of conflict.
"The kings, the presidents, prime ministers – they all want to be on the Board of Peace," Trump said. "It’ll be one of the most legendary boards ever. Everybody wants to be on it."
The Board of Peace is a significant component of a broader peace plan that the U.S. has developed to address the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The initiative follows a United Nations Security Council resolution adopted on November 17, which authorized the creation of the board and an International Stabilization Force (ISF) to provide temporary support for Gaza's redevelopment. The resolution was drafted by the United States and stresses the importance of international cooperation to rebuild Gaza’s infrastructure and governance.
The resolution also outlines the purpose of the Board of Peace as a transitional administration that will set the framework for Gaza’s reconstruction and coordinate the necessary funding for these efforts. According to the plan, the board will remain in place "until such time as the Palestinian Authority (PA) has satisfactorily completed its reform program and can securely and effectively take back control of Gaza."
This peace initiative, which is tied to Trump’s 20-point peace plan, has generated mixed reactions globally. Supporters see it as a potential breakthrough to finally end the cycle of violence in the region, while critics express concerns over the feasibility of a lasting peace in Gaza under such a framework.
The U.S. is pushing for a comprehensive, international approach to stabilizing Gaza and encouraging economic recovery and governance reforms. However, the long-term success of the Board of Peace will depend largely on the cooperation of key regional stakeholders, including Israel, the Palestinian Authority, and other international actors.
As the announcement of the board’s membership draws closer, international attention will focus on the leaders selected to guide this ambitious peace effort. The hope is that the Board of Peace will play a crucial role in the long-term resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the stabilization of Gaza, but only time will tell if the new framework can bring lasting peace to the region.
