In February 2026, US President Donald Trump will hold the first summit for his "Board of Peace" in Washington, DC. The meeting aims to demonstrate the board's viability in overseeing Gaza's reconstruction following a US-backed ceasefire plan approved by the UN Security Council three months prior. The board, intended to operate for two years, has faced skepticism from allies and members regarding its ability to enact change, especially with continued Israeli ceasefire violations. Concerns also exist about the board's potential to rival the UN and the lack of Palestinian representation. Analysts suggest Trump hopes to showcase participation and belief in his vision, but significant progress hinges on resolving key political issues.
