TheWkly Analysis

Draft of plan for Gaza Board of Peace floats $1b membership. Bloomberg first reported on Saturday night that a draft charter from the Trump administration for the proposed Board of Peace for Gaza would create a board where member states each serve a three-year term, but could pay $1 billion within the group’s first year for a permanent seat. CNBC reported that the document said the group would “rebuild all of Gaza,” and that “virtually every dollar” raised would be spent to fulfill its mission. The initiative would be part of the broader Trump-led Board of Peace, which named an executive board for Gaza on Friday. On Saturday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized the Trump administration for including a member from Turkey and another from Qatar. In response, an anonymous US official told Axios, “This is our show, not his show.” The international board was established to oversee the Israel-Hamas ceasefire and endorsed by the United Nations Security Council in November 2025. Critics are concerned that the Trump administration might be creating an alternative to the United Nations, which the US owes $1.5 billion in mandatory contributions.
