“We have peace in the Middle East, no one thought that was possible,” Trump proclaimed.
President Donald Trump officially launched the “Board of Peace” at a signing ceremony during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland on Thursday morning, presenting it as a new U.S.-led vehicle to manage postwar stabilization efforts in Gaza and potentially expand to other global conflicts.
“We have peace in the Middle East, no one thought that was possible,” Trump proclaimed.
The Board of Peace is intended to “promote stability, restore dependable and lawful governance, and secure enduring peace” in conflict zones. Trump first floated the idea in September 2025 and formally announced its creation earlier this month, describing it as a new framework that could operate alongside existing international bodies.
Trump has also said he will personally determine membership, including a proposal to charge $1 billion for permanent seats. The initiative was initially presented as a mechanism to support Gaza’s administration, reconstruction, and economic recovery in the aftermath of the Oct. 7 attacks and the war that followed.
Trump pointed to a phased roadmap that he said was already gaining traction. “Last October we released a plan for an end to the war in Gaza and it was adopted by the Security Council,” he said, adding that the priority now is sustaining the ceasefire and aid flow. “Under phase one we are going to have to very strongly maintain the Gaza ceasefire, and record humanitarian aid. You don’t hear that people are starving anymore.”
He also signaled ambitions beyond Gaza. “I think we can spread out to other things as we succeed with Gaza, we’re going to be very successful in Gaza,” Trump said. “Once this board is completely formed, we can do pretty much whatever we want to do.”
Trump tied the project to Israel’s demand for the return of the final remaining hostage’s remains. “We are committed that Hamas must return that last remaining deceased hostage and that will be the full commitment and we’ll get on to bigger things,” he said. “We’re committed to ensuring Gaza is demilitarized, properly governed and beautifully rebuilt.”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio credited Trump’s approach with achieving what he called a previously unthinkable outcome.
“We are here today because of President Trump’s vision,” Rubio said. He argued that the hostage issue had been viewed as unsolvable without further war. “No one thought that that would ever come to a resolution without more fighting and more bloodshed along the way,” he said, adding that many institutions “were unable to do anything about it.”
Jared Kushner, who has played a central role in Trump’s Middle East policy planning, described the Gaza plan as a single-track strategy with no alternative. “Hamas signed a deal to demilitarize, that is what we are going to enforce,” Kushner said. “People ask us what our plan B is; we do not have a plan B.”
Kushner also laid out an ambitious reconstruction vision, arguing that large-scale development can move quickly if security and governance are established. “There’s a master plan. We’ll be doing it in phases,” he said, projecting workforce housing could be completed “in two or three years,” with a broader “New Gaza” envisioned as a destination for industry and growth.
“Once this starts going, we think there should be 100% full employment, opportunity for everybody there,” Kushner said. “But it all starts with security, and it all starts with governance.”
Trump’s Board of Peace was launched with a roster of participating member states that includes Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bulgaria, Egypt, Hungary, Indonesia, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Morocco, Pakistan, Qatar, Paraguay, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, and Israel.
