As part of an effort to assist the reconstruction of Gaza, President Donald Trump proposed his 20-point Gaza peace plan in September of 2025.

This plan detailed an agreement proposed by Trump and the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, which was later put into motion with the cooperation of Hamas. Most of the points within this plan are about the release of hostages, and economic policy to help with the reconstruction. Notably however, the plan mentions that oversight of reconstruction will be done by a new international committee, titled the “Board of Peace.” This new board is supposed to be headed by Trump, who invited many different countries to join.

Some of the countries who have already agreed to join include Israel, Egypt, Belarus, Canada, and Hungary, among others. Norway and Sweden aren’t planning on joining at the moment, and France is most likely not going to join. Russia hasn’t made an official statement, but was invited according to Trump. While some nations are very much for the Board of Peace, some have denounced Trump’s statements, raising skepticism around if the board is just an alternative to the United Nations Security Council, but one where he holds the most authority.

Some notable points about the charter for the Board of Peace are that funding for said board is to be acquired voluntarily by participating member states, and states cannot participate for more than three years unless they pay more than $1 billion in funds, which has lead to some critics of the board calling it a “pay to play” system.

With the board officially being launched in late January, the first meeting was scheduled for February 19th, with the already-approved member states.

Meetings will happen on a two week basis for the next 3 months.
