In January 2026, a draft resolution revealed plans for the Board of Peace, a new international group led by President Trump, to govern the Gaza Strip. The Board, which includes member states like Azerbaijan and Qatar, met in Davos last week to sign its founding charter aimed at securing peace in conflict zones. The draft resolution would grant Trump significant authority, including the power to nominate senior officials to administer Gaza, such as a high representative and the commander of an international stabilization force. Trump would also be able to approve or suspend resolutions. The Board of Peace was initially conceived in Trump's plan to end the war between Israel and Hamas and was granted a mandate by the U.N. Security Council in November.
