Donald Trump's Board of Peace is scheduled to convene in Washington D.C. for its inaugural meeting. The board, a key foreign policy initiative, aims to address global conflicts, with an initial focus on solidifying the fragile ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. Trump envisions the board playing a significant role, potentially governing and rebuilding Gaza and even challenging the UN Security Council's conflict resolution role. However, the board faces challenges in Gaza, including ongoing violence, lack of disarmament by Hamas, and stalled progress for a Palestinian governing committee. Experts emphasize the need for tangible improvements on the ground to maintain the board's credibility. Over two dozen nations, including Israel, have joined as founding members.
