<\/a><\/p>\nIt\u2019s another pivotal step forward in realizing President Trump\u2019s vision of transforming Gaza from a region plagued by conflict and despair into one defined by opportunity, hope, and vitality. The Board of Peace stands ready to mobilize global resources, enforce accountability, and guide the implementation of the next critical phases of demilitarization, governance reform, and large-scale rebuilding.<\/p>\n

President Trump: \u201cThis Board has the chance to be one of the most consequential bodies ever created, and It\u2019s my enormous honor to serve as its Chairman\u2026 Today, the first steps toward a brighter day for the Middle East and a much safer future for the world are unfolding right before your very eyes. Together, we are in a position to have any credible chance\u2026 to end decades of suffering, stop generations of hatred and bloodshed, and forge a beautiful, everlasting, and glorious peace for that region.\u201d<\/p>\n
Secretary of State Marco Rubio: \u201cWe are here today because of President Trump\u2019s vision. If we go back just a few months ago, people thought what was happening in Gaza was impossible to solve\u2026 No one thought that that would ever come to a resolution without more fighting and more bloodshed along the way\u2026 But President Trump had the vision and the courage to dream the impossible, to believe that it was doable, and to pursue it with all of his heart.\u201d
\nChief Commissioner of the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza Dr. Ali Sha\u2019ath: \u201cI want to start by thanking President Donald J. Trump and his Administration for his intensive efforts to advance peace in the whole region\u2026 These efforts created the opportunity for a new future in Gaza, but what will really matter is what comes next.\u201d<\/p>\n
High Representative for Gaza Nickolay Mladenov: \u201cWho would\u2019ve thought two years ago that we would be sitting here with this group of countries, with this leadership, giving the people of Gaza a new chance?\u2026 For too long, Gazans, Palestinians, and Israelis have lived with conflict, with death, with destruction. Now, the page turns.\u201d
\nSpecial Envoy for Peace Missions Steve Witkoff: \u201cWe have achieved a peace deal in Gaza. We have brought the hostages home\u2026 And maybe most importantly, we have created a sense of hope for what the future can bring in Gaza and all other places where the Board of Peace will operate. And I am so honored, Mr. President, to have worked on this on your behalf.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jared Kushner: \u201c85% of the GDP of Gaza has been aid for a long time. That\u2019s not sustainable. It doesn\u2019t give these people dignity; it doesn\u2019t give them hope. And so we want to use free market economy principles \u2014 a lot of what President Trump spoke about that he\u2019s doing in America \u2014 we want to bring the same mindset, the same approach, to a place like Gaza to give these people the ability to thrive and have a good life\u2026 If we believe that peace is possible then peace really can be possible.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
