Trump wrote, “On February 19th, 2026, I will again be joined by Board of Peace Members at the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace in Washington, D.C., where we will announce that Member States have pledged more than $5 BILLION DOLLARS toward the Gaza Humanitarian and Reconstruction efforts, and have committed thousands of personnel to the International Stabilization Force and Local Police to maintain Security and Peace for Gazans.” Trump announced the formation of the board last September to “be headed by a gentleman known as President Donald J. Trump of the United States.” As chairman, Trump holds total veto power over the charter, including appointing or removing members. France’s foreign minister cited concerns over Trump’s “very extensive powers” as chair, while Britain’s foreign secretary described the board as a “legal treaty that raises much broader issues.” Concerns were also raised over Russia’s presence on the board, as well as Israel being part of a body overseeing reconstruction of disputed land.
