US President Donald Trump has reached out to allies in the Middle East, formally inviting Turkey’s Erdogan and Egypt’s Sisi to the Gaza ‘Board of Peace.’ This comes as Washington assembles a dream team to guide the enclave through its post-conflict phase.
The panel boasts expertise with Rubio leading US diplomacy, Banga on financing, Blair’s political savvy, and Fidan’s regional insights. Responsibilities cover a wide spectrum: from policy-making to investment drives for Gaza’s revival.
Turkey shared details of Trump’s personal invite to Erdogan, while Egypt’s top diplomat noted an ongoing assessment of Sisi’s role. Blair highlighted his commitment to helping rebuild Gaza.
The initiative promises strategic leadership, global partnerships, and rigorous oversight to pivot Gaza from violence to prosperity. Supporting elements feature a stabilization force and a high-level envoy for unified efforts in security and development.
Tensions simmer on the ground, with isolated incidents marring the October truce. Hamas’s stance against disarmament casts shadows over peace prospects, making Trump’s board a critical gamble for resolution.
