Here’s what to know about the board and who is, and isn’t, joining. Trump had initially floated the Board of Peace as part of a second phase of the US-brokered 20-point Gaza ceasefire plan in September. The Board of Peace will sit above a “founding Executive Board” that includes Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, special envoy Steve Witkoff and former British prime minister Tony Blair. There was no Israeli representative on the stage for the Board of Peace ceremony, although Israeli President Isaac Herzog was in Davos. The UN’s top humanitarian official and emergency relief coordinator, Tom Fletcher, told CNN that Trump’s Board of Peace will not replace his organization.
