Washington — The White House announced a U.S.-led Board of Peace to oversee Gaza’s temporary governance, reconstruction and broader post-conflict stabilization. President Trump will chair the board, and the administration listed appointees and an executive committee including regional and international figures and officials. The plan proposes a Palestinian technocratic administration overseen by the board and offers permanent board seats to countries contributing $1 billion, with three-year terms for non-payers. Israel has objected to the committee’s formation and participation by Turkey and Qatar. Invitations reached multiple countries between Jan.16–19, prompting responses and media scrutiny. Based on 6 articles reviewed and supporting research.
