President Donald Trump plans to convene the first meeting of the international Board of Peace this month in Washington, bringing together world leaders and senior representatives to advance the next phase of the Gaza ceasefire and mobilise funds for reconstruction.

The session is scheduled for February nineteen and will be hosted at the U.S. Institute of Peace building, which has been redesignated as the Donald J. Trump U.S. Institute of Peace.

Participation is expected to include members of the board’s executive committee and invited leaders who have accepted Trump’s invitation.

The Board of Peace was formally established by Trump’s administration on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos and referenced in United Nations Security Council Resolution 2803, giving it an international mandate to help oversee the implementation of the Gaza peace plan and related reconstruction efforts.

Its remit has broadened since its inception, with proponents viewing it as a vehicle not only for Gaza’s recovery but for a wider approach to global conflict resolution, even as some traditional U.S. allies have remained hesitant to commit to full participation.

White House and board organisers have been reaching out to dozens of governments to confirm attendance and finalise logistical arrangements for the Washington meeting, now seen as a test of momentum for Trump’s broader peace architecture.

The gathering is set to follow a meeting between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington on February eighteen.

Both the ceasefire’s second phase and reconstruction planning are expected to feature prominently on the agenda, alongside efforts to secure pledges of financial and technical support from board members.
