Trump's Board of Peace Unveils Vision for Rebuilding Gaza

President Donald Trump’s bold vision for the Middle East took center stage Thursday as his newly launched Board of Peace unveiled a sweeping plan to rebuild Gaza not as a war zone, but as a thriving model of peace and prosperity built on security, capitalism, and American resolve.

Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner rolled out what they called the next phase of peace, one that doesn’t end with a ceasefire it begins with a post-Hamas future for Gaza.

“We have achieved a peace deal in Gaza. We have brought the hostages home,” said Witkoff. “But most importantly, we have created a sense of hope for what the future can bring.”

That future? A radically reimagined “New Gaza” a demilitarized zone rebuilt from the ground up using free-market principles, foreign investment, and job creation, not decades of failed international aid and terror subsidies.

Kushner made it plain “Eighty-five percent of Gaza’s GDP has been aid for a long time. That’s not sustainable. It doesn’t give these people dignity. It doesn’t give them hope.”

Instead, the Trump administration's postwar strategy is to bring private capital, industry, and infrastructure to Gaza transforming it into a functioning economy with 100% employment, long-term growth, and zero tolerance for terrorism.

Key features of the New Gaza plan:

• Full demilitarization of Gaza and removal of terror infrastructure.

• Major investments in industry, trade, and housing with phased rebuilding already underway.

• Application of proven Middle Eastern development models, where entire cities are built in under three years.

• A hard reset away from the failed UN-led “aid model” to self-sustaining economic freedom.

Kushner emphasized that the success of New Gaza hinges on one essential factor: security.

“Without security, nobody’s going to make investments. We need investments in order to start giving jobs. There’s a master plan. Once this starts going, we think there should be 100% full employment and opportunity for everybody.”

This is not a peace plan written by detached diplomats. It's a blueprint rooted in Trump-style realism understanding that lasting peace only follows strength, structure, and incentive. The team is not interested in speeches or symbolic handshakes they’re already clearing rubble and laying the foundation.

The contrast couldn’t be clearer: while the Obama-Biden years were filled with appeasement and aid checks to terrorists, the Trump administration is once again making peace through American power, private investment, and strategic clarity.

Rubio highlighted Trump’s singular role in getting the deal done, saying the former “intractable conflict” was only broken because of leadership from the top. It was Trump who demanded results hostages returned, Hamas dismantled, and the groundwork laid for a peace built not on utopian dreams but on capitalism and courage.

This is what American leadership looks like: turning a war zone into an opportunity zone, replacing rockets with rebar and terror with trade.

The left will scoff. The foreign policy “experts” will sneer. But once again, President Trump has done what they all said was impossible and brought real hope to the most hopeless corner of the Middle East.
