Trump to announce Gaza 'Board of Peace' with global leaders in early 2026

US President Donald Trump has stated that his proposed "Board of Peace" for Gaza, a key part of his ceasefire plan, will be unveiled early next year. He claimed it will include heads of major countries and be a "legendary" group.
US President Donald Trump has announced that the composition of his proposed "Board of Peace" for Gaza will be revealed in early 2026, describing it as a panel of global leaders. Speaking to reporters at the White House on Wednesday, Trump claimed the board would be "one of the most legendary boards ever," comprised of the heads of the world's most important nations, all of whom purportedly want to participate.
A central but vague component of the Trump ceasefire plan
The board is a central, yet still undefined, element of Trump's broader ceasefire and post-war plan for Gaza, which halted a two-year conflict on October 10. According to the outlined framework, the board is intended to play an assisting role in Gaza's administration. Trump has previously stated he would serve as its chairman, though the specific members, powers, and operational mandate remain publicly undisclosed.
Context of the Gaza war and the current ceasefire
The announcement comes after a devastating war in which Israeli military operations killed over 70,000 Palestinians, the majority women and children, and injured nearly 171,000 others since October 2023. The ceasefire currently in effect is fragile, and the political future of Gaza, including its governance and reconstruction, remains a subject of intense international dispute and diplomatic maneuvering.
Unanswered questions and regional skepticism
The concept of an international board led by Trump raises significant questions about its acceptability to key regional actors, including the Palestinian factions, Israel, and neighboring Arab states. The lack of detail continues to fuel skepticism about the plan's viability and whether it aligns with Palestinian aspirations for self-determination or simply imposes an external governance mechanism.
