Trump’s Board of Peace and Economic Plans for the Middle East

The draft charter for Donald Trump’s proposed “Gaza Board of Peace” commodifies peace, demanding up to one billion dollars for membership while neglecting Palestinian agency and accountability. This initiative seeks to manage Gaza through financial contributions and control, bypassing international law and UN oversight, thereby fostering a governance model devoid of consent. It risks perpetuating a cycle of dependency and injustice, presenting reconstruction as a means of leverage rather than a path to true peace. Genuine resolution requires ceasefire, humanitarian access, and the restoration of Palestinian sovereignty.
