The ‘Board of Peace’ was originally proposed in the UN Security Council Resolution 2803, adopted on November 17, 2025. But the Board of Peace launched by U.S. President Donald Trump in Davos last week is markedly different from the board proposed by the UN. The UN proposal was to create a body to oversee the ceasefire in Gaza and initiatives to stabilise the Palestinian territory, including reconstruction and administration, after two years of war. The UN resolution also authorised a temporary international stabilisation force to help demilitarise and stabilise Gaza in coordination with the board, which will have reporting obligations to the UN Security Council.
