White House Announces Members of Gaza Board of Peace to Advance Stabilisation Efforts
Biden administration unveils a multilateral panel of leaders and experts tasked with supporting peace, reconstruction and governance in Gaza
The White House has formally announced the inaugural membership of the Gaza Board of Peace, a multilateral advisory and coordination body designed to support political dialogue, reconstruction and stabilisation efforts in the Gaza Strip.
The announcement on January 16 came as the administration reiterated its commitment to advancing a sustainable, durable peace between Israelis and Palestinians while addressing the immediate humanitarian and governance challenges facing Gaza’s population.
President Joe Biden described the board as a key instrument for marshaling international expertise and resources to assist with post-conflict recovery and institution-building in Gaza.
The board comprises a group of statesmen, senior diplomats and civil society leaders from across the Middle East and beyond, reflecting a broad spectrum of regional and international perspectives.
The panel’s mandate includes advising on political arrangements between Palestinian factions, promoting economic development, coordinating donor support for infrastructure and essential services, and ensuring that relief efforts align with democratic and human rights norms.
Among the announced members are former national leaders and high-level envoys who bring extensive experience in conflict resolution and regional diplomacy.
The roster includes individuals with deep ties to the Gulf Cooperation Council, European governments and international organisations, underlining U.S. efforts to build a diverse coalition capable of addressing the complex political and humanitarian landscape in Gaza.
The administration emphasised that the board will work in close partnership with the United Nations and key regional actors to avoid duplication and enhance the effectiveness of aid and political engagement.
U.S. officials said the initiative is intended to complement ongoing diplomatic efforts and to create a structured platform where stakeholders can align on priorities for reconstruction and governance, while also encouraging reforms that empower local leadership and civil society.
The board’s work follows months of diplomatic outreach by the United States to secure broader regional buy-in for peace initiatives and to set the conditions for longer-term stability, including agreements on ceasefire terms and the flow of humanitarian assistance.
As the board begins its work, Washington has signalled that it will continue high-level engagement with both Israeli and Palestinian leaders as part of a comprehensive approach to the wider conflict, even as immediate challenges persist on the ground.
