Global leaders invited to Trump’s Gaza ‘Board of Peace’ initiative

Synopsis

The Trump administration has proposed a “Board of Peace” for postwar Gaza, inviting global leaders and diplomats to oversee governance, reconstruction, and stabilization. Key figures include Tony Blair, Jared Kushner, Ajay Banga. 

US President Donald Trump's administration has reached out to various figures around the world to sit on a so-called "Board of Peace" and related entities meant to oversee governance and reconstruction in postwar Gaza.

The White House said there would be a main board, chaired by Trump himself, a Palestinian committee of technocrats meant to govern the war-wracked territory, and a second "executive board" that appears designed to have a more advisory role.

Here is the list of people involved so far in the various entities:
