Trump proposes an international body to govern Gaza, chaired by himself

The U.S. would also help organise an International Stabilisation Force, training Palestinian police and securing borders with Egypt and Israel.

In an audacious twist to Middle East diplomacy, President Donald Trump on Sept. 29 declared he would personally chair a new “Board of Peace” — an international authority designed to oversee Gaza’s transition after the war.

Trump’s plan envisions Gaza administered not by Hamas or the Palestinian Authority but by a technocratic committee of Palestinians and international experts, supervised by the “Board of Peace” headed by Trump, with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair among expected members.
