US President Donald Trump unveiled his much-anticipated “Peace Deck” for Gaza in Davos on Thursday, which included the UAE and Pakistan, among others. He claimed there was a commitment to ensure Gaza was demilitarized and “beautifully rebuilt”.
Of the 60 countries invited to join, 35 have agreed to sign on to the project, a senior administration official said, according to AFP.
The peace council is expected to oversee Gaza’s post-war transition as the ceasefire, which entered into force on October 10, 2025, moves into its second phase. Its mandate is to include the creation of a new Palestinian committee in Gaza, the deployment of international security forces, the disarmament of Hamas and the reconstruction of the war-torn territory.
In his opening speech, Trump said “everyone” wants to be part of the Peace Council and said he would continue to “work with many others, including the United Nations.”
