How the Peace Board will work: Pyramid structure, Trump with absolute powers, 27
Donald Trump

Israel will be represented in Washington this time by its foreign minister, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided not to travel to meet Donald Trump again. At the height of the election campaign, photos with representatives from Turkey or Qatar are not welcome in Israel.

Thus, at the next summit, Israel is represented by Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, even though it was Netanyahu himself who signed the letter of membership in the Peace Board, a signature made under direct pressure from Trump, who would not accept refusal.

Member countries

In addition to Israel, 26 other countries have agreed to be part of the Board as founding members.

Among them are Turkey, Qatar, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, the United Arab Emirates and Argentina. From the European Union, only Bulgaria (still awaiting parliamentary ratification) and Hungary are full members. Italy participates only as an observer. From the Western Balkans, members are Albania and Kosovo.

Netanyahu's opposition to the presence of Turkey and Qatar, which he has accused of being "sponsors of terrorism," has not deterred Trump, who considers them key allies in the region.

NATURE

The structure of the Board is clearly pyramidal. At the top stands Trump as the Board's president, with almost absolute powers. Only he can invite new members, has the right to veto any decision, and can create, change, or dissolve subordinate bodies.

One of these bodies is the Executive Committee, which includes figures such as Marco Rubio, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Jared Kushner, and Steve Witkoff.

Field administration

On the ground in Gaza, Bulgarian diplomat Nickolay Mladenov, a former UN coordinator for the peace process, will act as a liaison between the main Executive Committee, a broader committee for Gaza, and the National Committee for the administration of the territory, headed by Ali Sha'at, a former Palestinian Authority minister in Ramallah.

A team of Palestinian technocrats will manage Gaza's 363 square kilometers during this transition phase.

Trump sees this Council as a structure with "unlimited potential," which in the future could extend to other parts of the world, in direct competition with the United Nations.

funding

Trump said participating countries have pledged about $5 billion. The Emirates, Qatar and Kuwait would each contribute $1.25 billion, while the United States would guarantee a similar amount. However, according to the European Union and the World Bank, rebuilding Gaza requires at least $50 billion.

About 80% of buildings have been damaged, the territory is filled with unexploded ordnance and toxic materials, while over two million Palestinians live in emergency conditions.

Trump also envisions deploying an international force to stabilize Gaza. So far, Indonesia alone has expressed willingness to send 8,000 soldiers. Meanwhile, Israeli troops remain deployed in more than half of the territory and Netanyahu refuses to withdraw without the area being completely demilitarized.

The biggest challenge remains the disarmament of Hamas. The US may accept a partial compromise, while Israel considers both light weapons and the remaining tunnel network as serious security threats./Corriere della Sera
