In January 2026, US President Donald Trump expanded the mandate of his "board of peace," initially created to oversee Gaza's reconstruction following a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Invitations to world leaders like the presidents of Argentina and Paraguay, along with an accompanying charter, revealed broader ambitions for the board. Trump envisions the body as a long-term organization addressing global conflicts beyond Gaza, aiming to promote stability and secure lasting peace in conflict zones. The charter emphasizes pragmatic solutions and a departure from ineffective approaches, leading some to describe it as a potential alternative to the United Nations.
