Daftarsbmptn.com – The Peace Board is an international initiative initiated and led by Donald Trump. It was created in the context of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, with the goal of becoming a new global authority leading the ceasefire process, post-war reconstruction, and according to its founders expanding its role to address other conflicts worldwide.
Timeline of Formation
The concept of the Peace Board first emerged as part of Trump’s Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict in September 2025, amidst escalating tensions in the Middle East. This plan was later endorsed through Resolution 2803 at the UN Security Council in November 2025.
On January 15, 2026, Trump officially announced the creation of the Peace Council in a social media post, appointing himself as chairman for life and establishing an organizational structure that combined diplomacy, investment, and an executive body focused on Gaza.
Initial membership included dozens of countries from various regions, including US allies from Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. The first meeting is scheduled to take place in Washington on February 19, 2026, with the main agenda being to confirm funding commitments and the organization of Gaza stabilization efforts.
Main Strategies and Objectives
The Peace Council’s primary objectives are:
Overseeing the reconstruction of Gaza following the protracted war between Israel and Hamas that began in October 2023. Gaza’s civilian infrastructure was completely destroyed, and reconstruction costs are estimated to reach tens of billions of dollars.
Managing an international stabilization force to maintain security and assist civilian recovery in the affected area. This plan involves thousands of personnel from the Peace Council’s member states.
Unifying global financial commitments: at its most recent meeting, Peace Council members pledged to allocate more than US$5 billion for humanitarian aid and reconstruction in Gaza.
Trump has described the council as a transformative diplomatic platform though critics have called it a mechanism that effectively strengthens the geopolitical position of the US and its allies while diminishing the role of institutions like the UN.
Global Response and Controversy
The Peace Council has faced sharp criticism from various international parties. Several countries rejected full participation due to the council’s structure, which is actually chaired directly by Trump, without formal representation of Palestine, the party that should be the primary focus of conflict resolution.
The Vatican, for example, reiterated its decision not to join at all, arguing that global conflict resolution should be through multilateral mechanisms under the UN, not through a body dominated by a single state.
Palestinian groups such as Hamas also called for the Peace Council to halt the violent operations in Gaza and not to use it as a legitimizing tool for actions they consider to continue to harm the Palestinian people.
Several other countries, including Mexico, chose observer status at the meeting to emphasize the lack of direct Palestinian representation.
Global Political Impact
The Peace Council’s geopolitical impact is already being felt:
This organization provides a platform for the US to lead a more centralized and foreign policy-oriented vision of global peace in Washington. This changes the traditional dynamics of post-pandemic international diplomacy.
The involvement of developing countries like Indonesia, which faces domestic debates about the benefits and risks of its membership, demonstrates the complex relationship between international commitments and national foreign policy.
The vertical controversy between the UN’s mandate and role has sparked renewed discussion about how the world should handle large-scale conflicts in the future whether through traditional multilateral structures or through new platforms spearheaded by superpowers.
The Board of Peace is one of the greatest experiments in global diplomacy of the Trump era, designed with the noble goal of peace and conflict rehabilitation. However, its formation, leadership structure, and international perception of the agenda demonstrate that the journey to a just, inclusive, and sustainable peace is not simple. Its political impact is not limited to Gaza, but more broadly affects international relations and the shifting global power structure.
