Donald Trump’s new “Board of Peace” is set to redraw the world’s security map—threatening to outflank the United Nations as the planet’s top conflict-resolver.
He unveiled the initiative at the World Economic Forum in Davos, declaring it “the most prestigious board ever formed,” with himself as perpetual chairman. The board “started on Gaza,” he said, signaling its mandate will stretch far beyond the Israel-Hamas war.
Membership already tops 20 nations—Azerbaijan, Belarus, Canada, Egypt, Hungary, Israel, Kosovo, Morocco, the UAE and more have lined up. Each permanent seat carries a $1 billion contribution, ensuring only serious players join.
Trump vowed his board “might replace the U.N.’s core mission.” He blasted the UN for “never living up to its potential,” insisting that under his leadership “every war I settled would already be history.”
Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi met with Trump in Davos and praised the board’s fresh approach. Other world leaders, frustrated by endless UN gridlock, are quietly lobbying for spots.
Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, told CNBC that interest is “off the charts. We have north of 20, maybe 25 leaders already committed.” He promises swift, no-nonsense arbitration, backed by hefty U.S. logistical support.
The board will supervise a technocratic interim government in Gaza—handpicked experts enforcing cease-fires, rebuilding infrastructure, guaranteeing free elections. It’s a direct challenge to UN agencies burdened by red tape and political posturing.
Conservative strategists see this as Trump’s masterstroke: reproving the UN’s failings with an American-led alternative. It signals a return to decisive U.S. leadership in world affairs, where results—not resolutions—matter.
The United Nations, warned Trump, “should have settled every one of the wars I settled.” Now, with his Board of Peace, he’s ready to prove it—one conflict at a time.
