Hey there! Imagine if countries could team up in a fresh way to stop fights, rebuild places that got wrecked by war, and actually make lasting peace happen – that’s basically what just went down today.
On January 22, 2026, in Davos, Switzerland (where big global leaders meet every year), President Donald Trump officially signed the charter and launched something called the Board of Peace. Think of it like a new international group focused first on fixing Gaza after years of tough conflict, but with plans to help out in other trouble spots around the world too.
Trump is the chairman (he gets the final say on a lot of things), and the board includes some heavy hitters right from the start: U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, special envoy Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner (Trump’s son-in-law), former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, and others. The goal? Bring stability, good government, and real peace to areas hit by war – starting with rebuilding homes, jobs, and a stronger economy in Gaza using free-market ideas so it doesn’t just rely on outside help forever.
More than 35 countries have already said yes and joined up as founding members. That list includes places like Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Hungary, Pakistan, Argentina, Indonesia, and more. Some big names like Russia are thinking about it, but traditional allies such as the UK, France, Germany, Canada, and Italy didn’t show up to sign on yet.
To get a permanent spot (instead of just a short 3-year term), countries can chip in $1 billion – that money would go straight toward rebuilding and projects. Trump says this group can work alongside the United Nations (even though he’s been critical of it in the past) and might even handle bigger global problems down the road.
This is a bold move in world affairs – some people love the idea of faster action on peace and rebuilding, while others worry it could change how groups like the UN usually handle these things.
What do you think – could something like this actually bring more peace and better opportunities to tough areas? Markets might watch closely because stability in places like the Middle East often means steadier energy prices and trade.
