Trump chairs Board of Peace while UAE’s Reem Al Hashimy is among those on executive board
WASHINGTON US President Donald Trump’s administration has reached out to various figures around the world to sit on a so-called “Board of Peace” and related entities meant to oversee governance and reconstruction in postwar Gaza.
The White House said there would be a main board, chaired by Trump himself, a Palestinian committee of technocrats meant to govern the war-wracked territory, and a second “executive board” that appears designed to have a more advisory role.
Here is the list of people involved so far in the various entities:
