Donald Trump intends to hold the inaugural meeting of his Board of Peace in Washington this month, specifically proposed for February 19th. The meeting aims to raise funds for the reconstruction of Gaza and will include world leaders who accepted Trump's invitation to join the board, along with members of an executive committee overseeing Gaza's governance, security, and redevelopment. The meeting will be held at the U.S. Institute of Peace, now known as the Donald J. Trump U.S. Institute of Peace, pending a legal battle. Trump's administration seized the facility last year and fired most of the institute's staff. While initially focused on ending the Israel-Hamas war, the board's mandate has broadened to encompass resolving global crises.
