The Board of Peace is an international body, chaired by U.S. Pres. Donald Trump, created to oversee the October 2025 ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas War. It was proposed in October 2025 and endorsed by the United Nations Security Council the following month. The body will supervise a transitional Palestinian technocratic government in the Gaza Strip, called the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) and headed by Ali Shaath, a former Palestinian Authority (PA) official who was born in the Gaza Strip. The Board of Peace will also work toward disarming Hamas and deploying the International Stabilization Force (ISF), a peacekeeping mission made up of international armed personnel and charged with training a new Palestinian police force. After months of discussions the formation of the board was announced in January in advance of the annual World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, during which the board’s first meeting was set to be held. The board’s charter indicated a global scope in its mission, prompting concerns from some countries that the board might try to compete with, and thereby undermine, the United Nations.
