Washington, D.C. – Former U.S. President Donald Trump has indicated that the composition of the Gaza Peace Council will be revealed in early 2026. The announcement came during an economic event held in the Roosevelt Room at the White House on Wednesday.
Speaking to reporters, Trump stated that numerous world leaders have expressed interest in joining the council. This body was established as part of the Gaza Plan, which facilitated the ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel earlier this year.
According to U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Mike Waltz, the Peace Council, to be chaired by Trump, will oversee the implementation of the ceasefire agreement. Waltz, speaking on Israeli Channel 12, outlined the next phase for Gaza, including the formation of a technocratic Palestinian government and the establishment of a financial system to support Gaza’s economic recovery.
A key aspect of the plan involves the disarmament of Hamas. Trump has reportedly stated that this process will occur, whether through amicable means or, if necessary, through more assertive measures. The details of how this disarmament will be achieved remain to be seen.
The establishment of the Gaza Peace Council marks a significant step in the ongoing efforts to secure lasting peace and stability in the region. The international community is closely watching the developments and the role the council will play in shaping the future of Gaza.
