U.S. President Donald Trump is set to convene a meeting of global allies on Thursday to inaugurate the 'Peace Board', an initiative focused on the ongoing situation in Gaza, but with ambitions that extend much further. This event will host around two dozen world leaders, including Argentina's Javier Milei, at a time when such a gathering highlights the significant diplomatic challenges faced by the U.S., particularly given the notable absence of European leaders who typically engage with American initiatives.

The formation of the 'Peace Board' comes on the heels of negotiations led by the Trump administration in collaboration with Qatar and Egypt, which aimed to achieve a ceasefire after two years of intense conflict in Gaza. Following the success of these negotiations, the U.S. asserts that the initiative is transitioning into its next phase, which focuses on the disarmament of Hamas. This follows Hamas's recent attacks against Israel which have led to escalated military responses in the region, indicating a broader geopolitical strategy that Trump appears to be pursuing.

As the 'Peace Board' seeks to establish itself, it faces potential competition with traditional international bodies like the United Nations. The ambitions behind this initiative suggest a shift in how peace dealings might unfold, relying more on U.S. influence and potentially challenging existing frameworks for international cooperation and dispute resolution. Such developments could reshape the landscape of international diplomacy concerning the conflict and its surrounding geopolitical dynamics.
