Trump’s Board of Peace may be a good diversion
US President Donald Trump, alongside Kazakhstan’s President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, Bahrain’s Minister of the Prime Minister’s Court Shaikh Isa bin Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Kosovo’s President Vjosa Osmani, and Morocco’s Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita, takes part in the announcement of the charter for his Board of Peace initiative aimed at resolving global conflicts, during the 56th annual World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, on January 22, 2026.
A new body has added to the currently complex geopolitical landscape. The Board of Peace was formally launched in January 22, when American President Donald Trump signed its charter at the 57th World Economic Forum in Davos.
Supporters see it as an agile alternative to collective action by the UN Security Council to facilitate reconstruction planning in Gaza. Critics, however, view it as means to sidestep existing multilateral system or to redirect funding from UN organisations. Others also think of it as a 'pay-to-play' club of world leaders to avoid collective decision making.
