26 Jan 2026\u00a0<\/em>–\u00a0The so-called Board of Peace that President Donald Trump officially launched in Davos, Switzerland last week is developing sweeping plans for a U.S.-backed administration to rule Gaza, according to a draft of the Board\u2019s resolution.<\/p>\n

Drop Site obtained the unsigned document, which is dated January 22, 2026 and titled \u201cResolution No. 2026\/1,\u201d from three independent sources, all of whom are in regular contact with U.S. and Israeli authorities regarding Gaza reconstruction. The sources confirmed that its contents align with ongoing discussions in Israel and the U.S. about the implementation of planned governance structures for the Strip.<\/p>\n

The resolution, which is the first of its kind from the Board of Peace, details the structure of a U.S.-backed governing authority that would assume full legislative, executive, and judicial control over Gaza, including \u201cemergency powers.\u201d The stated goal of the Board of Peace is to transform Gaza into a \u201cderadicalized and demilitarized terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbors.\u201d<\/p>\n

The copy of the document obtained by Drop Site is unsigned. A blank space is left for the signature of Donald J. Trump, in his capacity as Chairman of the Board of Peace. It remains unclear whether the resolution has been formally adopted, or whether the version received reflects a final text.<\/p>\n

The metadata indicates that the document was first created in mid-December by the State Department\u2014and the date on the document corresponds to President Trump\u2019s appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he formally presided over the official launch of his board. The State Department declined to comment to an inquiry from Drop Site about the resolution.<\/p>\n

The draft resolution formalizes a hierarchical structure for the Board of Peace, with Trump as the chairperson and an executive board that has \u201cthe same authority, powers, and ability to make all delegations necessary and appropriate to carry out the Comprehensive Plan as the Board of Peace.\u201d The Executive Board has the power to \u201cenact new law, or modify or repeal prior\u201d civil and criminal laws in Gaza.<\/p>\n

The resolution lists the nine members of the executive board: seven that were already announced by the White House on January 16, plus two more who have not been publicly named. The previously announced members are: Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, businessman Mark Rowan, World Bank President Ajay Banga, and Deputy National Security Advisor Robert Gabriel. The two new names revealed in the document are Trump\u2019s chief of staff Susan Wiles and Martin Edelman, a real estate attorney and a special advisor to the government of the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n

There will also be a Gaza Executive Board, which includes several of the same members serving in an advisory capacity.<\/p>\n

The draft resolution would also establish a National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), described as a \u201cvetted, technocratic, apolitical committee\u201d of Palestinians operating strictly under the supervision of a High Representative. The High Representative is named as Nickolay Mladenov, the former Bulgarian defense and foreign minister and a former U.N. envoy to the Middle East. The NCAG would be led by Ali Shaath, a former Palestinian Authority government official. No Palestinians were included on the Board of Peace, though Trump did give a spot to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who remains under war crimes indictment and is subject to an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court. The board, which critics say is an attempt to circumvent any meaningful U.N. oversight or even to position itself as a privatized alternative to the world body, envisions operating in an environment where it answers exclusively to Trump.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s sadly the case that neither the Board of Peace nor its subordinate structures are representative or accountable. This may be seen in the untrammeled power of the Chairman, Mr. Trump himself,\u201d the former United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and now Executive Director of Mediation Group International, Martin Griffiths, told Drop Site. He added that this imbalance is most evident in the resolution\u2019s treatment of Palestinians, whose involvement is reduced \u201cto the lowest and most technical level.\u201d<\/p>\n

The draft resolution states that \u201conly those persons who support and act consistently\u201d to create a \u201cderadicalized terror-free Gaza that poses no threat to its neighbors\u201d will be eligible to \u201cparticipate in governance, reconstruction, economic development, or humanitarian assistance activities in Gaza.\u201d It bars from participation any individuals or organizations deemed to \u201chave supported or have a demonstrated history of collaboration, infiltration or influence with or by Hamas or other terror groups.\u201d It does not make clear how these determinations will be made but that the Executive Board and the High Representative will create \u201celigibility standards for participation in the development of New Gaza\u201d and apply those on a case-by-case basis subject to Trump\u2019s approval. Both Israel and the U.S. have repeatedly denounced without credible evidence UN agencies and nongovernmental organizations as fronts for Hamas or enablers of terrorism.<\/p>\n

The Board of Peace draft would establish \u201chumanitarian zones\u201d and \u201ccontrolled civilian-protection corridors,\u201d patrolled by the International Stabilization Force. Access would be restricted to individuals approved by the Executive Board and the High Representative, with boundaries set according to unspecified \u201coperational and security requirements.\u201d The \u201ctemporary\u201d ISF would be led by U.S. Major General Jasper Jeffers, with the Board\u2019s chairman (Trump) solely authorized to approve or replace commanders, as well as to approve future lead nations.<\/p>\n

While the resolution states that \u201cno one will be forced to leave Gaza\u201d and that \u201cthose who wish to leave will be free to do so and free to return to Gaza,\u201d it also makes clear that access to resources, aid, and political participation in Gaza will be conditional on compliance with the \u201cComprehensive Plan\u201d and the authority of the Board.<\/p>\n

Griffiths criticized the resolution for reducing Palestinians to \u201cimplementers of the decisions of others,\u201d leaving them \u201conce again not at all the masters of their own fate.\u201d While Israel, he said, \u201chas a place at the top table,\u201d Palestinians are \u201cdeprived and excluded.\u201d \u201cThey are nowhere to be found,\u201d Griffiths added, \u201cexcept at the very bottom of this pyramid of power.\u201d<\/p>\n

The resolution states all its provisions would be enacted immediately upon signature.<\/p>\n
