Inside the Trump Gaza Board of Peace: A Corporate Blueprint for Post-War Governance
President Trump unveils a corporate-style 'Board of Peace' for Gaza. The 3-tier hierarchy led by billionaires raises concerns about 'commercial trusteeship'.
Donald Trump isn't just proposing a peace deal; he's installing a new board of directors. The White House has officially unveiled the architecture of the Board of Peace, a three-tier hierarchy designed to oversee Gaza's post-war reconstruction and governance. It's a structure that critics say looks less like a government and more like a commercial trusteeship.
The Trump Gaza Board of Peace Power Hierarchy
At the apex sits the Founding Executive Council, chaired by President Trump who retains veto power. The council is a who's who of billionaires and pro-Israel figures, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, real estate mogul Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner. Notably, the Trump administration has invited countries to contribute at least $1bn for permanent membership.
From Sovereignty to Commercial Trusteeship
The plan establishes the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), a 12-member Palestinian technocratic body. However, their role is limited to municipal services like health and housing. Strategic decisions remain in the hands of the U.S.-led board. Gaza-based analyst Iyad al-Qarra described this as a "corporate takeover," where sovereignty is traded for investment.
Despite its pro-Israel leanings, the plan faces friction in Jerusalem. Benjamin Netanyahu's office claimed the board's formation wasn't coordinated with Israel. Far-right ministers like Itamar Ben-Gvir are particularly opposed to the inclusion of Turkiye and Qatar in the Executive Board.
