Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to join President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace signals more than a diplomatic gesture. It marks a strategic shift in how Gaza’s future and global conflict governance may be shaped outside traditional international institutions. Backed by Washington and aligned with Trump’s broader vision, the new body challenges the authority of the United Nations and introduces a leader-driven model of conflict management. Supporters see speed and control, while critics warn of power consolidation and pay-to-play diplomacy.
