Episode Description
In this episode, we break down Trump’s newly announced Board of Peace — what it is, how it came together, and why it’s raising eyebrows across the international community.
Originally conceived as part of Trump’s post-war Gaza framework for ceasefire stabilization and reconstruction, the Board was later unveiled at Davos with deliberately broad language focused on post-conflict stabilization, enduring peace, reconstruction, and lawful governance in regions emerging from prolonged conflict. While Gaza remains the immediate application, the Board is now being positioned as a permanent, global mechanism rather than a single-theater solution.
We walk through the structure of the organization, including Trump’s role as inaugural chairman — and chairman for life — under its private charter, along with early attempts to map out its internal hierarchy. We also examine which countries are reportedly involved, which major Western allies have declined to participate, and how other global powers have responded.
The episode digs into the funding and governance model, including reports that permanent seats may cost up to $1 billion and that participation rules are set unilaterally under the Board’s charter — not through treaties, the UN, or traditional diplomatic channels. Despite being framed as a private entity rather than a formal government institution, the Board has now received international recognition through the UN Security Council, adding another layer of complexity.
We also discuss contradictions and unanswered questions: why many member states restrict immigration to the U.S., what this means for legitimacy and enforcement, and how Jared Kushner’s redevelopment vision for Gaza fits into the broader picture.
Overall, this episode explores whether the Board of Peace represents a novel approach to post-conflict governance — or an unprecedented consolidation of power operating outside established international norms.
