In a significant move, US President Donald Trump has announced the formation of a special committee, dubbed the “Board of Peace,” to oversee the reconstruction and governance of Gaza. This initiative comes as part of the ongoing efforts to bring stability and peace to the region, which has been marred by conflict and violence for years.
According to reports from RT.com, Channel News Asia, and South China Morning Post, the Board of Peace will be chaired by President Trump himself and will include prominent figures such as Secretary of State Marco Rubio, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, special envoy Steve Witkoff, son-in-law Jared Kushner, and World Bank President Ajay Banga. The board aims to supervise Gaza’s governance for a transitional period, with further members expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
This development follows Trump’s earlier announcement of a “phase two” plan for Gaza, in which he warned Hamas to honor its commitments or face consequences. The White House has also considered executive action to cap credit card rates, signaling a multifaceted approach to addressing various issues in the region.
The decision to establish the Board of Peace has sparked mixed reactions, with some praising the effort to promote stability and reconstruction in Gaza, while others express concerns about the effectiveness and impartiality of the board. Critics argue that the inclusion of political figures like Rubio and Blair may raise questions about the board’s neutrality and ability to address the complex challenges facing Gaza.
Overall, the creation of the Board of Peace represents a significant step towards addressing the longstanding issues in Gaza and fostering a path towards peace and prosperity in the region. As the board begins its work, it will be crucial to ensure transparency, inclusivity, and a focus on the well-being of the people of Gaza.
