In January 2026, Donald Trump announced the formation of a "Board of Peace" to oversee his 20-point plan aimed at ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in Gaza. The board will focus on Gaza's stabilization and long-term success, including governance, reconstruction, and investment. Key members include Tony Blair, Jared Kushner, Marco Rubio, Steve Witkoff, Marc Rowan, Ajay Banga, and Robert Gabriel. This announcement follows the launch of the second phase of the US-brokered plan to end the war, which began in October 2023 and has resulted in over 71,000 Palestinian deaths. The Trump administration states the plan aims to transition from a ceasefire to demilitarization, technocratic governance, and reconstruction.
