Overview
- The White House listed initial members including Marco Rubio, Tony Blair, Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, Ajay Banga, Marc Rowan and Robert Gabriel, with President Trump presiding over the Board of Peace.
- Major General Jasper Jeffers was designated to command the International Stabilization Force tasked with Gaza security.
- No Palestinian representative sits on the international board, while day-to-day governance is assigned to a 15-member Palestinian technocratic committee led by Dr. Ali Sha’ath, with Nickolay Mladenov serving as senior representative for Gaza.
- Argentina’s President Javier Milei published Trump’s invitation and confirmed the country will join as a founding state member, and a Canadian official said Mark Carney has accepted an invitation to the board, with further appointments expected in the coming weeks.
- Blair’s inclusion faces regional criticism over his Iraq War legacy, and key conditions such as a full Israeli withdrawal and Hamas disarmament remain unsettled as the plan’s second phase proceeds.
