Trump’s “Gaza Board of Peace”: A Mockery of Peace?
President Donald Trump has assembled a “board of peace” for Gaza, enlisting key figures like Marco Rubio and Tony Blair to oversee reconstruction and governance. The seven-member executive board, chaired by Trump, also includes Steve Witkoff, Ajay Banga, and Jared Kushner, each assigned specific portfolios vital to Gaza’s stabilization. This second phase of the US-brokered peace plan follows the release of hostages and a ceasefire, but challenges remain including the ongoing violence and humanitarian aid shortages. The plan also faces skepticism and calls for the full implementation of phase one, including the end of the war and full disarmament, before the peace can truly be built.
