The Board of Peace (BoP), or the Peace Board, is an international organization with the stated purpose of promoting peacekeeping around the world. Established by President Donald Trump and led by the government of the United States, the board is named in United Nations Security Council Resolution 2803 as a body tasked with overseeing the processes of the Gaza peace plan. The Board of Peace was proposed in September 2025 and formally established on the side-lines of the 56th World Economic Forum in January 2026.
Resolution 2803 welcomed the board to aid with reconstruction efforts in the Gaza Strip, via the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), and authorized it to deploy a temporary peacekeeping force. Participating countries are required to contribute US$1 billion to the organization to renew membership after the first three years. As of 2026, 25 of the 62 invited countries have signed the board's charter.
Several policy analysts and officials have expressed concerns about the board's governance model, raising concerns over the decision-making authority concentrated in its chair. European nations have expressed concern over the possibility of the board usurping the role of the United Nations (UN). Trump has stated that the BoP could potentially replace the UN while also expressing continued support for the latter, and has defended the former's reputation, describing it as "the most prestigious Board ever assembled, at any time, any place".
