Establishment and ratification of the Board of Peace

During his time at Davos, Trump formally signed and ratified a charter creating the Board of Peace, a multinational initiative to oversee postwar reconstruction in Gaza, with potentially broader aims at resolving global conflicts.

Several countries, including the United Arab Emirates, Hungary and Pakistan, have joined the Board of Peace, though others have opted out. Several notable political figures at home and abroad have joined the international body, which constitutes one of several aspects of a deal designed to secure peace in Gaza more than two years after Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.

According to a statement published by the White House last week, an Executive Board on the Board of Peace will "oversee a defined portfolio critical to Gaza’s stabilization and long-term success, including, but not limited to, governance capacity-building, regional relations, reconstruction, investment attraction, large-scale funding, and capital mobilization."

The Board of Peace's charter identifies its purpose as to "promote stability, restore dependable and lawful governance, and secure enduring peace in areas affected or threatened by conflict."

The Board of Peace will be chaired by Trump, who later revoked Canada's invitation to join amid tensions.
