US EditionTrump’s ‘Board of Peace’: Big Stage, Big Claims, No Mechanism for Real Peace
President Trump formed the Board of Peace to oversee Gaza reconstruction with a $1 billion membership fee, aiming to create a new multilateral pathway outside the UN system.
- President Donald Trump signed the Board of Peace charter at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on January 22 to oversee Gaza reconstruction under UN Security Council Resolution 2803.
- Seeking a foreign-policy win before the November midterms, Trump sought a major victory by repackaging an American worldview to corral middle powers around the Board proposal.
- Structurally, the board centralises authority in the chairman, who has veto power, can initiate measures, remove members, serve indefinitely, and whose executive board includes Jared Kushner, Tony Blair, and Ajay Banga.
- Several major European states have declined or hesitated to join, with about 10 declines including France, Germany, and the United Kingdom; China rejected the invitation, and UN Secretary-General António Guterres said the Security Council alone has Charter authority on peace and security.
- The charter omits Gaza and extends the board's mandate beyond that enclave, requiring a $1 billion lifetime membership fee without clarifying how funds will be allocated.

Some have hastily concluded that Trump’s newest political gambit — recently unveiled at the World Economic Forum in Davos — is a uniquely Trumpian endeav…
