Donald Trump has recently unveiled the formation of a 'Board of Peace' for Gaza, positioning himself as its chairman. This initiative marks a crucial component of Phase Two of his 'Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict,' which focuses on demilitarization, technocratic governance, and large-scale reconstruction of the war-ravaged territory. The announcement, made on January 15 and 16, 2026, confirmed several high-profile individuals as founding executive members of the board. The core 'Board of Peace' includes US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, former British Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair, and World Bank President Ajay Banga. Other key members are US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, billionaire financier Marc Rowan, and Trump adviser Robert Gabriel. Additionally, former UN Middle East envoy Nickolay Mladenov has been designated as the High Representative for Gaza, serving as a vital link between the Board of Peace and the new Palestinian technocratic administration. Supporting this main board is a 'Gaza Executive Board,' which further includes representatives from Turkey (Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan) and Qatar (diplomat Ali Al-Thawadi), alongside officials from Egypt and the UAE, signaling a broader regional involvement in the peace efforts. The plan also entails the establishment of a 15-member Palestinian technocratic committee, led by Dr. Ali Sha'ath, responsible for the day-to-day administration of post-war Gaza, focusing on restoring public services and rebuilding institutions. A significant aspect of this phase is the objective of disarming Hamas and deploying an International Stabilization Force to maintain security and facilitate humanitarian aid. While the involvement of figures like Tony Blair has drawn some controversy due to his past roles, the initiative has garnered widespread international media attention, highlighting the ongoing efforts to address the complex situation in Gaza.
