"The United States is expected to host a signing ceremony on Thursday for President Donald Trump's board of peace (BoP) on the margins of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland. Trump, who is to meet global leaders this week at the WEF, is pitching the board as the next phase of his administration's 20-point peace plan and a mechanism to oversee the reconstruction of Gaza, which has been devastated by Israel's genocidal war against Palestinians in the territory since October 2023."
"But while the BoP was first introduced last year with a specific two-year United Nations Security Council mandate to manage post-war Gaza, its official charter makes no direct reference to Gaza at all. Instead, the document outlines a sweeping mandate that appears to challenge existing diplomatic frameworks, advocating a move away from established international institutions on the premise that they have failed to maintain global peace."
A United States-hosted signing ceremony is planned at the World Economic Forum in Davos for President Donald Trump's Board of Peace (BoP), presented as the next phase of a 20-point peace plan and a mechanism to oversee Gaza's reconstruction after the October 2023 war. The BoP was first proposed with a two-year UN Security Council mandate to manage post-war Gaza, but its official charter does not explicitly reference Gaza and instead sets a sweeping mandate that challenges existing diplomatic frameworks. Invitations were sent to dozens of countries; several have agreed while many remain reluctant, citing concerns the BoP could bypass or replace the UN.
