Trump-Led Board of Peace Gaza 2026: A Blueprint for Order or Control?
US Special Envoy announces the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire in 2026. A Trump-led Board of Peace will oversee a new technocratic government amid local skepticism.
The ink on the ceasefire papers is dry, but the dust in Gaza hasn't settled. Even with a formal truce in place since October 10, 2025, the reality for civilians remains a grim cycle of survival. Now, a new international Board of Peace chaired by Donald Trump aims to transition the enclave into a post-war era of reconstruction and demilitarization.
Trump Board of Peace Gaza 2026: Phase Two Launch
US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff announced on Wednesday the start of the ceasefire’s second phase. This stage shifts focus from stopping hostilities to establishing a technocratic administration. Under the oversight of the Board of Peace, led by Trump and managed by former UN diplomat Nickolay Mladenov, a committee of Palestinian experts will manage daily operations in the strip.
According to Al Jazeera, while the plan looks workable on paper, local skepticism is deep. Freelance journalist Arwa Ashour noted that many political decisions feel distant from the reality of blockades and loss. Palestinians fear that being excluded from the decision-making process turns reconstruction into a tool of external control rather than genuine recovery.
The Challenge of Demilitarization and Justice
A primary hurdle remains the demilitarization of Hamas. Analysts suggest Israel may tie progress in the health and education sectors to security guarantees. With at least 71,400 Palestinians killed since the war's onset in October 2023, human rights advocates emphasize that peace without accountability is merely a pause between conflicts.
