Trump to Unveil Gaza ‘Board of Peace’ Next Week as Ceasefire Framework Advances

President Donald Trump is expected to announce a Gaza “Board of Peace” next week as his administration pushes into a second phase of its ceasefire framework. The initiative would formalize an international governing and reconstruction effort while the territory remains unstable and politically contested.

Administration officials have indicated that invitations are being extended to key countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, to serve on the board. The proposed body would be chaired by President Trump and include approximately 15 world leaders.

The Board of Peace concept is embedded in U.N. Security Council Resolution 2803, adopted on November 17, 2025. This resolution endorses a U.S.-backed “Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict,” welcomes the establishment of the Board of Peace, and authorizes participating member states to establish a temporary International Stabilization Force tied to the plan’s objectives.

Nickolay Mladenov, former U.N. envoy to the Middle East and designated representative for the Board of Peace, is currently in Israel meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of Trump’s planned announcement. Netanyahu’s agreement to move to the second phase at a meeting with Trump helped pave the way for the rollout.

The framework links Israeli military withdrawal timelines to demilitarization benchmarks while allowing for a remaining security perimeter presence until Gaza is deemed secure from a renewed “terror threat.”
