Trump’s Gaza Board of Peace
- A Radical Dispatch
1) What is Trump’s Board of Peace?
President Trump has announced a Board of Peace for Gaza, and perhaps even beyond. Country membership is for a three-year term and will be free. Countries that agree to pay $1 billion will gain permanent status. Donald J Trump is the Chairman.

Sky News: “Breaking news to bring you now from the US. We’re hearing via the Reuters news agency more about the Board of Peace that Donald Trump is setting up to oversee the rebuilding of Gaza. You may remember yesterday, Sir Tony Blair, the former prime minister, was announced as sitting on that board. Well, now we’re hearing that the draft charter for Donald Trump’s Board of Peace, has a three-year membership term, except, though, for those who contribute a billion dollars in cash funds. This is according to a document seen by Reuters. I mean, this morning, King Abdullah of Jordan has been invited to take part. We heard yesterday that the leaders of Turkey and Egypt had received letters asking them to do the same. And as I mentioned before, Tony Blair is sitting on that board as well to oversee the rebuilding of Gaza. But now we hear the draft charter for this board of peace has uh well two elements to it, a three-year membership term except for those who stump up a billion dollars in cash funds, uh we will bring you more on that as we get it.”
This development forms phase II of Trump’s Gaza ceasefire plan, as analysed by us last October.
Radical Media reports 16th October 2025:
While the full Charter of the Board of Peace has been published, many have noticed that it does not in fact refer specifically to Gaza. Rather, it speaks in general language about peace and conflict resolution.
Times of Israel reports 20th January 2026:
The structure of the Board has been somewhat confusing for some, though the below chart should at least help in delineating its various committees.
Al-Jazeera reports 18th January 2026:
The below is a graphic representation of this structure as it currently stands.
2) Who Will Join the Board of Peace
There has been some pushback from Israel about the US announcement, with the BBC reporting that Netanyahu was not happy with developments as Trump proceeded without consulting him.
The BBC reports 18th January 2026:
“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has convened a meeting with his top advisers to discuss Donald Trump's ‘Board of Peace’ for Gaza, after it revealed the US did not include Israel in talks to do with its creation.”
Reports continued to emerge that Israel’s objection specifically revolved around Trump’s inclusion of Nato member and Muslim-majority country Turkey, as well as nuclear power and Muslim-majority member Pakistan, on his Board.
Though today it has been revealed that Netanyahu did in the end accept Trump’s invitation.
Unsurprising as it was to Radical Media, some observers were left aghast at the fact that President Trump invited Russia to join. The Russians are considering it, while raising the issue of what the exact remit of this Board of Peace will be beyond Gaza.

Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov: “I have already said in my introductory remarks, and Dmitry Peskov confirmed that yesterday, that President Putin has received an invitation by President Trump to become a part of the Board of Peace. We have also received annex to that letter, a rather lofty document called a charter of the Board of Peace that states that the Board will be prepared to deal not only with the Gaza sector, I don’t think it’s even mentioned there, but it will be tasked with the resolution of conflicts around the world. And naturally, we’d like to clear up the conceptual vision and the practical vision of our American colleagues of this initiative. We’re trying to clear these matters up. We’ll keep in touch.”
China was also invited to join.
President Trump has planned a signing ceremony at Davos, tomorrow.
3) Board of Peace Heralds the End of the Post WWII World Order
The fact that the charter for the Board of Peace uses the generalised language of conflict resolution, while not focusing on Gaza specifically, has led many observers to conclude that Trump aims to replace existing international institutions, and the post-WWII world order, with his new Board.

Khaled Elgindy: “..a sense coming mainly from the administration that they would like to broaden the reach of the Board of Peace and to even talking about replacing the current UN system. There’s talk about charging countries a billion dollars to join this Board of Peace. So it’s clear that Gaza might be the beginning, but it isn’t the end of the Board of Peace as far as the Trump administration is concerned. And it may, you know, that secondary role of kind of replacing existing multilateral institutions might even be more of a priority than its primary function in Gaza for this administration, since Gaza doesn’t really have any real strategic value for Donald Trump. I think this is a trap that the Trump administration laid for the international community and they, they fell into it. I mean, let’s not forget that the security council endorsed the Trump 20 point plan, including the board of peace, despite the fact that it circumvented existing multilateral organisations like the Security Council itself and the General Assembly, and what we know about the Trump administration’s hostility toward these institutions.”
Journalists pressed the UN Deputy Spokesperson about these very concerns, who sought to reassure observers that Trump’s board would complement, not compete with, the UN.
Click to play:
Journalist: “…any invitation to be on that board?”
UN Deputy Spokesperson: “I’m not aware of any communication that we’ve received on any of this.”
Journalist: “Secondly, what’s the reaction from the Secretary General that if you want to maintain permanent members in that board, you have to pay up to, not up to, but actually one billion US dollars in the first year of the membership?”
UN Deputy Spokesperson: “We’ve seen these reports, we can’t confirm this.”
Journalist: “This is the charter of the board of peace.”
UN Deputy Spokesperson: “Yes. Obviously, different groupings have their own rules, their own bylaws and so forth. We don’t comment on other groups and their rules. Obviously, that’s something for anyone participating in those groupings to consider.”
Journalist: “Is that correct? Is that a right approach here? This is the Board of Peace has been welcomed by the Secretary General, right? If I remember correctly.”
UN Deputy Spokesperson: “The Board of Peace has been authorised by the Security Council for its work on Gaza. Strictly for that. We’re not talking about the wider operations or any of the aspects that have been in the media for the last several days. What we’re talking about is the work on Gaza. As you know, we have welcomed the ceasefire in Gaza and measures to support it, including the Board of Peace. And we’ll continue to work with all parties on the ground to make sure that the ceasefire is upheld. That is about Gaza. The larger aspects are things for anyone wanting to participate in this grouping to consider. Obviously, the UN has its own charter, its own rules, and you can do your own compare and contrast between the respective organisations.”
Journalist: “Since you mentioned about the assertion lately in the media, is this Board of Peace can be a substitute or replacement of the Security Council or UN itself? How would you define the relationship between the UN body and this Board of Peace now?”
UN Deputy Spokesperson: “As you’re well aware, the UN has coexisted alongside any number. of organisations. There are regional organisations, sub-regional organisations, various defence alliances around the world. Some of them we have relationship agreements with, some of them we don’t. We would have to see, in terms of details, what the Board of Peace becomes as it actually is established, to know what sort of relationship we would have with it.”
Journalist: “Does the Secretary General intend to work with the Board of Peace on the particular issue of Gaza?”
UN Deputy Spokesperson: “You’ve seen what the Security Council resolution has been, and obviously we work in line with that resolution.”
They are deluded.
This appears to be wishful thinking from the UN, and such concerns are probably why France’s Macron has refused to join.
Click to play:
Journalist: “President Putin should be a member of the Board of Peace?”
President Trump: “Yeah, he’s been invited.”
Journalist: “Do you have any response to President Macron saying he will not join the Board of Peace?”
Trump: “Did he say that? Well, nobody wants him because he’s going to be out of office very soon. So, you know, that’s all right. What I’ll do is if they feel like hostile, I’ll put a 200 percent tariff on his wines and champagnes and he’ll join. But he doesn’t have to join. I mean, if he said that, you’re probably giving it to me a little bit differently. But if he actually did say that. But as you know, he’s going to be out of office there a few months.”
President Trump himself has explicitly stated his disdain for the post-WWII international order.
Outrage at this line relies on a number of assumptions. Importantly, whether international law exists, and if it does, who polices it. Our view is that international law does exist as a global customary law, but the conundrum is about who polices it.
Whichever body gets to police global law will inevitably become the Globalist technocracy. Once global authority to police international law in this way is conceded to any body, there is no escape from its eventual evolution to a globalist one world government. The only answer to this conundrum is decentralisation.
Trump’s adaptation of the Monroe doctrine - and his Donroe corollary to it - is a contemporary version of the answer to who polices international law. This comes in the form of deescalation from globalism in order to incrementally move closer to decentralisation, by retreating away from a global imperialist stage to a regional position.
America’s trajectory, or direction of travel, from being a global neo-conservative imperialist superpower under previous presidents, to a regional Americas focused policy, grounded in the Monroe doctrine under Trump, is a retreat from globalist empire, in the trajectory sense. This is why the US pulled out of Afghanistan. It is also why the Russians voluntarily withdrew their navy from Syria.
The world will return in this way to regional multilateralism. Ignoring this administration’s trajectory - as situated in time - renders one unable to choose the correct gear to be travelling in alongside it. This is an issue many appear to be struggling with. It is understandable, but still wrong.
Our world will not enter WWIII. Of that we assure you. Instead it will deescalate from one previous global superpower, and unilateralism, to dividing itself into at spheres of influence. Russia, China and the US will form the initial three spheres, but the Middle East will also eventually get its own sphere of influence. Each power will police its own sphere.
This is decentralisation in practise. It is incremental. Any Globalist uniparty that seeks to police this world using global aspirations for ‘international law’ or anything else as their pretence for their globalist imperialism, will lose.
We explained as much in last week’s Radical Dispatch after the Maduro incident in Venezuela.
Radical Media reports 7th January 2026:
Statements and events this week have only confirmed our view further.
Here is Kremlin strategist Alexander Dugin explicitly confirming our regional ‘spheres of influence’ model.
News this week that Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have signed a mutual defence pact, with Turkey seeking to join, supports our view that the Middle East will eventually get its own sphere of influence: a Middle Eastern Nato.
This leaves a question as to what happens to Europe. Not much.
We broke this all down in this week’s WARRIOR CREED livestream here.

Maajid Nawaz for WARRIOR CREED: “Our world will not enter World War III. Of that, we assure you. Instead, it will deescalate from one previous global superpower, unilateralism, to dividing itself into spheres of influence. And this is what we’ve been speaking about throughout the course of this stream. Those spheres of influence will be Russia, China, and the US. They will be the initial three spheres. But the Middle East will also eventually get its own sphere of influence. Each power will police its own sphere. This is decentralisation in practice. It is incremental. Any globalist uniparty that seeks to police this world using global aspirations for international law, or anything else as their pretence for their globalist imperialism, will lose. So this is what we think is going on. And the key point here is that the world will be divided into spheres of influence. The Middle East will eventually get its own sphere of influence. But that breakup is to avoid the world eventually coalescing under these international institutions such as the UN, the WEF, the WHO, the EU, and then once coalesced, forming a one world government. The only way to avoid that is decentralisation. Now, by no means should a breakdown of the world into three, four, five spheres of influence signify the end of said decentralisation. It should merely represent the beginning of it.”
4) Trump & Farage tell Davos it’s Over
Meanwhile, our view that the post WWII world order has come to a rather abrupt end is reconfirmed by the Americans at Davos, with US Treasury Secretary Lutnick explicitly stating at this year’s World Economic Forum (WEF) that globalism has failed.
Here is a segment of his rather candid intervention…
