"US President Donald Trump on Friday announced the names of some of the people who are going to sit on the Gaza "Board of Peace," a body that will oversee the transitional government in the war-ravaged Palestinian territory. Among those on the seven-member "founding executive board" are US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and World Bank President Ajay Banga."
"The board will be responsible for establishing an international stabilization force (ISF) to maintain order in Gaza. Trump on Friday named US Major General Jasper Jeffers to head the ISF. A UN Security Council resolution, passed in mid-November, authorized the "Board of Peace" and countries working with it to establish that force in Gaza. The board's creation comes shortly after the announcement of a 15-member Palestinian technocratic committee."
US President Donald Trump named members of a Gaza "Board of Peace" to oversee a transitional government in Gaza. The seven-member founding executive board includes US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, special envoy Steve Witkoff, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Jared Kushner and World Bank President Ajay Banga. Trump will chair the board, which will total 15 members. The board will establish an international stabilization force (ISF) to maintain order, with Major General Jasper Jeffers named to lead it. A UN Security Council resolution authorized the board and the ISF. A separate 15-member Palestinian technocratic committee will manage Gaza's day-to-day governance. The first phase of the Gaza peace plan, unveiled in September 2025, called for a ceasefire effective October 10; both sides have accused each other of breaching it, and Israel has continued to restrict aid into the Gaza Strip.
