US EditionWhy Major US Allies Aren’t Joining Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ Yet
The Board of Peace aims to oversee the Israel-Hamas ceasefire and Gaza's future governance but faces skepticism and low participation from key U.S. allies, with only 19 countries attending.
- On Thursday, Jan. 22, 2026, President Donald Trump inaugurated the Board of Peace at the Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, framing it as a body that could one day rival the United Nations.
- The Board of Peace was conceived to oversee Gaza’s rebuilding, growing from Trump’s 20-point Gaza ceasefire plan and endorsed by the U.N. Security Council.
- Only 19 countries plus the U.S. attended, while Yvette Cooper, Britain’s foreign secretary, Ulf Kristersson, Sweden’s prime minister, and Norway declined to sign the text as written.
- Under the charter, countries must pay up to $1 billion for a seat, and President Donald Trump serves as lifetime chairman with sole successor power; the Kremlin said Vladimir Putin plans to propose $1 billion for humanitarian aid requiring U.S. unblocking.
- Gaza’s more than 2 million Palestinians face ongoing humanitarian needs, while disarming Hamas remains essential to the truce as the Rafah border crossing will open in both directions next week.
