In February 2026, the U.N. Security Council convened to discuss the situation in Gaza and the West Bank, a day before President Trump's Board of Peace inaugural meeting. Diplomats raised concerns about ongoing Israeli military actions, insufficient aid, and West Bank expansion plans. U.S. Ambassador Michael Waltz defended the Board of Peace, highlighting its $5 billion pledge for Gaza's reconstruction and the need for a new approach to resolve the conflict. The Board was created after the U.N. voted to adopt Trump's 20-point peace plan for Gaza, which includes demilitarization, Hamas disarmament, and an international stabilization force. Rosemary DiCarlo, the U.N.’s political and peace-building chief, emphasized the importance of implementing the U.S. plan fully and de-escalating tensions in the West Bank.
