Trump selling seats on Gaza ‘Board of Peace’ for $1bn | 18 Jan 2026 | U.S. President Donald Trump wants countries to pay at least $1 billion to remain on the Gaza “Board of Peace” beyond a three-year limit, according to the text of the body’s charter obtained by multiple media outlets. Earlier this week, the White House formally launched Phase Two of the U.S.-backed peace initiative for Gaza, and established the so-called “Board of Peace” to oversee the reconstruction of the Palestinian enclave. The charter outlining the board’s structure and membership terms was reportedly circulated, with invitations sent to dozens of world leaders, asking them to join the panel. “Each Member State shall serve a term of no more than three years from this Charter’s entry into force, subject to renewal by the Chairman,” the document states, according to the Times of Israel.
