President Donald J. Trump announced that his new peace initiative will include the creation of an international oversight body called the Board of Peace.

According to Trump, the board will serve as a central authority to oversee the implementation of agreements and the rebuilding process in Gaza. Its purpose is to ensure accountability, transparency, and efficiency in both governance and humanitarian aid.

In a striking statement, Trump noted that he would personally chair the board. “To ensure the success of this effort, my plan calls for a new international oversight body — the Board of Peace... which will be headed, not at my request... by a gentleman known as President Donald J. Trump of the United States,” he said, drawing attention to his direct leadership role.

The Board of Peace is expected to bring together world leaders, international experts, and regional partners to coordinate aid, redevelopment, and long-term stability efforts. Trump’s plan envisions this body guiding Gaza toward peace and prosperity while laying the groundwork for broader Middle East reconciliation.

Observers see the announcement as a bold step that places Trump at the center of one of the world’s most pressing conflicts.
