Trump launches ‘Board of Peace’ with signing ceremony in Davos
Davos: US President Donald Trump has formally unveiled the first charter of his ambitious ‘Board of Peace’, a global body aimed at resolving international conflicts. Initially conceived to oversee reconstruction and governance in Gaza following the Israel-Palestine war, the board has now expanded its mandate to addressing conflicts worldwide.
Permanent membership comes with a reported $1 billion price tag, highlighting the scale and ambition of the initiative.
Trump presented the Board of Peace at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, with participation from presidents, prime ministers, and top diplomats from over a dozen countries. Among the notable members are:

Argentina: President Javier Milei
Indonesia: President Prabowo Subianto
Paraguay: President Santiago Pena
Uzbekistan: President Shavkat Mirziyoyev
Pakistan: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif
Armenia: Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan
Trump described the initiative as a widely welcomed platform, claiming that “everybody” wants to join and stating he plans to collaborate with “many others, including the United Nations.”
Addressing the Gaza situation, Trump said that while the Israel-Hamas war is “really coming to an end,” there are still “little fires” that need to be addressed. He issued a stern warning to Hamas, insisting the group must disarm or face “the end of them.” Trump also noted that Israel is awaiting the return of the last hostage body.

While Trump has extended invitations to numerous global leaders, including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India has yet to take a decision regarding joining the Board of Peace, according to PTI reports. The initiative is being closely watched as a potential platform for diplomatic engagement on multiple international conflicts, with Pakistan among the first confirmed participants.
The launch of the Board of Peace comes amid increasing international interest in new frameworks for conflict resolution. Trump emphasized that the board will not only focus on Gaza but also serve as a mechanism to address ongoing global disputes, signaling a high-profile attempt to position the United States as a central mediator in world affairs.
