U.S. President Donald Trump has issued one of his strongest warnings yet to Hamas, declaring that failure to disarm under the Gaza ceasefire framework could lead to their complete disappearance. Speaking in connection with the unveiling of the Gaza “Board of Peace” at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Trump positioned the initiative as a decisive step toward ending the long-running conflict. The Gaza Board of Peace was formally introduced with a focus on global peacekeeping, post-war governance and humanitarian stability. Trump confirmed that the framework aligns with the UN and is rooted in a plan adopted by the U.N. Security Council in October. The founding charter was signed in the presence of key members, with Trump describing his role as chairman as an “enormous honour”. WATCH 

Israel has formally objected to the composition of a newly announced U.S.-supervised Gaza peace board, triggering fresh diplomatic friction between Jerusalem and Washington at a critical moment in the conflict. The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office says the executive panel overseeing the Gaza peace plan was revealed without prior consultation, raising concerns over Israel’s exclusion from a process directly affecting its national security. President Donald Trump has described the board as a “new approach to conflict resolution,” inviting global leaders to participate in shaping Gaza’s future. However, Israel’s concerns highlight growing friction over decision-making authority, regional sovereignty and the broader framework guiding post-conflict governance in Gaza. WATCH
