Launched in January 2026 at the World Economic Forum in Davos, the Board of Peace was intended to be Trump’s signature achievement for regional stability, specifically focused on the reconstruction of Gaza and regional integration.
Financial Pledges: Gulf states collectively pledged over $7 billion. Specifically, the UAE pledged $1.2 billion, while Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait each committed $1 billion.
The Power Structure: Trump serves as the Lifetime Chairman of the Board. It operates with a three-tier system, including an "International Stabilization Force" of 20,000 soldiers (pledged by countries like Morocco, Indonesia, and Kazakhstan).
The Conflict: Despite its name, the BoP has been criticized for sidelining the UN and operating under what Al Habtoor calls "Israeli visions and conditions."
⚔️ The "Iran Strike" and the Fallout
The letter was triggered by a sudden U.S. military escalation against Iran in late February/early March 2026. This conflict has quickly turned the Gulf into a "battlefield," precisely what the BoP was supposed to prevent. $BTC
