WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a high-stakes move that blends international diplomacy with private-sector governance, President Donald Trump has officially inaugurated the Board of Peace (BoP). The summit, held at the newly renamed Trump Institute of Peace, saw the unveiling of a $10 billion U.S. commitment aimed at a radical economic transformation of the Gaza Strip.
The initiative positions the Board of Peace not merely as a relief agency, but as a “more nimble and effective” alternative to the United Nations, signaling a potential shift in how global conflict zones are managed.
Segment 1: The Fiscal Framework & Global Pledges
The financial cornerstone of the plan involves a massive influx of capital intended to turn Gaza into a “beachfront economic hub.”
- U.S. Commitment: President Trump pledged $10 billion, though questions remain regarding Congressional authorization for the funds.
- The “Billion-Dollar Club”: Permanent membership on the Board is conditional. Countries seeking a seat beyond the initial two-year term must contribute $1 billion.
- Regional Backing: Approximately $7 billion in additional pledges were secured from a coalition of nine nations, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain.
- Corporate & NGO Synergy: Even FIFA has joined the fray, pledging $75 million specifically for sports infrastructure.
Segment 2: Security & Governance (The “Blueprints”)
The plan outlines a transition from military conflict to technocratic administration, overseen by two new bodies:
I. The International Stabilization Force (ISF)
A multinational security body led by U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Jasper Jeffers.
- Force Size: 20,000 soldiers and 12,000 police officers.
- Troop Contributors: Indonesia (serving as Deputy Commander), Morocco, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, and Albania.
- Training: Egypt and Jordan will lead the training of the new Palestinian police units.
II. The National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG)
A 15-member body of Palestinian technocrats chaired by Ali Shaath.
- Mandate: Manage day-to-day public services (health, education, utilities) independent of political factions like Hamas or the Palestinian Authority.
- Oversight: While the NCAG handles the “nuts and bolts,” they report directly to the Board of Peace and High Representative Nickolay Mladenov.
Segment 3: The Iran “Wildcard” & Geopolitical Risk
The reconstruction efforts are shadowed by a looming military ultimatum. Concurrent with the peace summit, President Trump issued a 10-to-15-day deadline to Tehran to finalize a nuclear deal.
“We have to make a meaningful deal; otherwise, bad things happen,” Trump stated, confirming he is considering “limited strikes” as the USS Gerald R. Ford arrives in the region.
Market analysts are monitoring this “Dual-Track” strategy—offering historic investment in Gaza while maintaining a “maximum pressure” military posture against Iran.
