Trump to Announce Gaza Board of Peace This Week

President Donald Trump is expected this week to finalize appointments to his Gaza Board of Peace, Bloomberg reported Sunday.

So far, only one member has been named: Nickolay Mladenov, a Bulgarian politician and former U.N. envoy to the Middle East, who will serve as the board’s director-general.

Chaired by Trump and made up largely of heads of government, the board is tasked with implementing his 20-point plan to transform Gaza. The initiative seeks to replace Hamas terrorists with an interim governing authority while securing foreign security forces and reconstruction funding.
