Overview
- President Donald Trump unveiled the Council of Peace to steer Gaza’s political transition and reconstruction and began issuing invitations to heads of state.
- Invites went to leaders including Argentina’s Javier Milei, Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Egypt’s Abdel Fattah el‑Sisi, Canada’s Mark Carney and Brazil’s Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva; Milei publicly accepted, Canada signaled intent to join, and Egypt and Brazil are still considering.
- The executive roster announced by the White House features Marco Rubio, Tony Blair, Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, Ajay Banga, Marc Rowan and Robert Gabriel, with Nickolay Mladenov named as liaison to a technocratic Palestinian committee led by Ali Shaath.
- Major‑General Jasper Jeffers was appointed to command an International Stabilization Force tasked with security in Gaza and training a new Palestinian police force under a referenced UN mandate.
- Israel criticized the unveiled executive lineup as uncoordinated and contrary to its policy, while observers highlighted the absence of Palestinian figures in senior decision‑making bodies, and the White House denied a report that countries must pay $1 billion to stay on the council.
