Board Originated From Gaza Reconstruction Efforts
The Board of Peace was first thought of as a way to oversee rebuilding and running Gaza after the war between Israel and Palestine. Trump said that the body would first work to stabilize Gaza before taking on a bigger role in the world. The initiative shows that his administration wants to shape the rules for governing after a conflict.
Trump said that progress in Gaza would be a good example for how to solve conflicts in the future. He was sure that the board would be able to handle the difficult problems that came up after the war. This confidence led him to say that the board could later deal with other global problems.
Diverse Global Leaders Join the Peace Initiative
More than 12 presidents, prime ministers, and high-ranking diplomats from other countries were there for the ceremony. Leaders from Latin America, Asia, Europe, and the Caucasus region were among those who took part. Their presence showed how politically and geographically diverse the initiative was.
Leaders from Argentina, Indonesia, Paraguay, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Armenia, and Azerbaijan were among those named. Trump pointed out that Pakistan’s prime minister was there as a sign that the region is open to everyone. The mix of participants showed that the board wanted to work on a global scale.

Permanent Membership Carries Significant Financial Cost
Trump said that being a permanent member of the Board of Peace costs $1 billion. He said that the cost was a promise to work for long-term peace and stability around the world. Trump says that the financial requirement makes sure that the countries that are taking part are serious.
The money is expected to help with administrative tasks, keeping an eye on reconstruction, and settling disputes. Trump said that putting money into something makes people more accountable and able to do their jobs. Critics, on the other hand, wondered if these kinds of costs could keep more countries from getting involved.
Trump Signals Broader Goals for Resolving Global Conflicts
Trump said that while Gaza is the board’s main focus right now, its job will quickly grow. He said that after Gaza is successful, the board will deal with other conflicts around the world. Trump said that the body could step in wherever there is diplomatic progress.
He said again that he had helped settle a number of international disputes in the past. Trump also said he was sure that he could end the war between Russia and Ukraine. These comments made his picture of the board as a strong diplomatic tool even stronger.
Strong Words About the Gaza War and Hamas Disarmament
Trump said that the war in Gaza was almost over, but he also said that there were still security problems. He said that Hamas had to give up all of its weapons or else it would face serious consequences. Trump said that giving up weapons was necessary for peace in the area to last.
He also wanted the last hostage’s body to be returned to Israel. Trump called Hamas inherently violent and used strong language when he spoke. These statements showed a hardline position along with efforts at diplomacy.
India Hasn’t Decided Whether to Join the Board
India has not yet decided whether or not to let Trump join the Board of Peace. Reports said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was one of many world leaders who were invited. Officials in India have not said anything publicly about their stance.
The uncertainty is a sign of bigger questions about the board’s goals and structure. Some governments seem hesitant to make a commitment without more information. As talks go on, decisions about who will take part may change in the next few weeks.
