President Trump is ramping up efforts for Gaza’s future by inviting leaders from Turkey and Egypt to his ‘Board of Peace.’ Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Abdel Fattah el-Sisi have been asked to participate in this pivotal group tasked with managing the strip’s interim administration.
Key members already on board are Marco Rubio, Ajay Banga, Tony Blair, and Hakan Fidan. This powerhouse team will handle everything from diplomatic outreach to securing funds for rebuilding Gaza’s war-torn infrastructure.
Ankara acknowledged the formal invitation to Erdogan via a letter from Trump, and Cairo is deliberating Sisi’s potential involvement. Blair, meanwhile, voiced his pride in contributing to Gaza’s reconstruction.
According to official statements, the broader board will strategize on resource allocation and maintain transparency as Gaza transitions toward stability. Additional measures include an international force and a senior coordinator for security and governance.
Against a backdrop of fragile calm—post-ceasefire skirmishes continue, with Hamas holding firm on its arms—the plan seeks to forge a path to enduring peace, though challenges remain formidable.
