Netanyahu: "Mr. President, we just bombed three more Iranian nuclear sites."

Trump: "Fantastic. Now sign the Board of Peace charter."

Netanyahu: "But we're actively arming protesters to overthrow—"

Trump: "I said sign it. Trust me, you'll understand later."

Welcome to The Donald’s Board of Peace, where the President just pulled off something the foreign policy establishment said was impossible: getting Israel to sit at a peace table while simultaneously backing their military operations against Iran. If that sounds like a contradiction, start thinking like The Dealmaker.

Let's break down what President Trump actually built here… and why it's brilliant.

What The Donald Really Built

Here's where Trump's genius becomes clear.

Strip away the diplomatic language, and the Board of Peace is a quasi-private international body that Trump chairs to "promote stability and peace" in conflict zones. It grew out of his 20-point Gaza ceasefire plan. A UN Security Council resolution blessed it.

But here's the kicker: Israel is a founding member. Netanyahu signed on January 21st.

Let that sink in for a moment. Israel, which has been conducting operations against Iran for months, just got U.S. backing for strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, and which Trump openly supports in their efforts to prevent Iran from getting nukes, is sitting at a "peace" table.

It looks like rank hypocrisy, but it’s actually an excellent strategy.

The Israel Paradox That Isn't

The foreign policy blob is losing its collectivist mind. "How can Israel be on a Board of Peace while actively conducting military operations?"

Wrong question. The right question is: "How did Trump get Israel to commit to a multilateral peace framework while maintaining their security flexibility?"

Israel gets a seat shaping Gaza's future, U.S. backing for operations against Iran, legitimacy wrapped in a "peace" initiative, and control over the reconstruction narrative.

Trump gets Israel committed to a peace process (which previous presidents couldn't achieve), leverage over Israeli actions, credit for "ending the war in Gaza," and a framework that can expand beyond Gaza.

Trump isolated the Iranians further while giving Israel both diplomatic cover and military support.

Peace doesn't mean everyone holds hands. It means creating structures in which adversaries have more to gain from stability than from chaos while maintaining deterrence to ensure compliance.

Actions Over Committee Meetings

On paper, the Board will supervise Gaza's reconstruction, coordinate an international stabilization force, and, if successful, expand into conflict management for other regions.

Translation: Trump built a mechanism that moves fast and gets things done, unlike the UN's endless committee meetings.

Trump's already floated that the Board might replace the UN entirely. The establishment is horrified. Of course they are! Their gravy train just got boarded.

Move Over, Sinatra!

Trump is the founding chairman for as long as he wants the job. The executive board includes Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, Jared Kushner (who brokered the Abraham Accords when everyone said it was impossible), Steve Witkoff, who knows how to get deals done, and that weasel Tony Blair because his British accent is perceived to lend Americans intellectual credibility.

There's also a High Representative managing the transition from Hamas to a genuine Palestinian administration, plus a Gaza Executive Board.

Membership rotates on three-year terms unless you contribute $1 billion for permanent membership. The critics call this "pay-to-play." But it’s actually “skin in the game.”

Why the Billion Dollar Entry Fee Is Genius

The critics scream "corruption!" over the $1 billion cover charge, missing the point entirely.

This isn't the UN, where Burkina Faso gets the same vote as the United States while contributing 0.004% of the budget. Here, influence is proportional to commitment.

For resource-rich states, that's a song. For the price of a mid-size infrastructure project, you buy direct influence over Gaza's future, a say in future conflict zones where the Board operates, access to Trump and the U.S. administration, and a seat at the table where real decisions get made.

Up to 25 countries have reportedly accepted. The countries that get it are signing up. The countries still pretending the UN matters (ahem… Europeans… again…) are staying home.

The Proof of Concept

The charter barely mentions Gaza specifically. Phase 2 of the ceasefire has Israel withdrawing, international forces moving in, and the Board supervising reconstruction while a new Palestinian administration runs day-to-day affairs.

The broader language suggests Gaza is the pilot. If this works, the model becomes franchisable: find broken territory, insert Board-approved leadership, and back it with capital.

Critics call this "neo-colonialism." But really, it's results-oriented nation building. While I’m not big on nation building, it’s an improvement over the old model. That’s when we invade, install democracy, and then watch it collapse. Theoretically, at least, this new model creates stable governance with backing, security, and investment.

The Board creates accountability. Countries that invest a billion dollars want returns in the form of functioning governance, reconstruction, and stability.

Better Than the UN Model

The globalists screech, "It undermines the UN!"

Good. The UN is a debating society where poor dictatorships get the same votes as powerful republics. UN Peacekeepers watch conflicts rather than stop them. UNRWA is a Hamas jobs program.

The Donald looked at that disaster and said, "I can do better." And he did.

The Board has funding and will make decisions without requiring the consent of 193 countries. Its leadership seeks results rather than rhetoric.

The UN spent 75 years being "perfect" in their HR handbook while accomplishing nothing. Trump spent 18 months building something that might work.

The Real Trump Doctrine

Trump doesn't operate like traditional presidents because traditional presidents have failed.

The Donald starts with maximum pressure, maintains military deterrence, builds structures that reward cooperation, moves fast, and makes deals.

The results: Abraham Accords (said impossible, got it done), Gaza Ceasefire (Joke Biden’s administration couldn't get it), Board of Peace (new international framework, Israel signed on, billions secured), and backing Israel militarily while building peace infrastructure that further isolates Iran.

The critics say Trump is "transactional." Correct. Transactions create accountability, align incentives, and produce results. The alternative gave us decades of Israeli-Palestinian conflict, an Iranian nuclear program getting closer to weapons, a UN that accomplishes nothing, and endless wars with no victories.

Trump's Board of Peace won't solve everything. But it'll solve some things. That's better than solving nothing.

Wrap Up

The Donald just fundamentally changed how peace gets made.

The Board of Peace got Israel to commit to a peace framework, secured billions in funding, created accountability through investment, maintained military deterrence against Iran while building peace infrastructure, and can expand to other conflict zones without needing UN approval.

Is it unconventional? Absolutely.

Will some countries refuse to participate? Sure.

But it might actually work.

Gaza might get real reconstruction instead of UNRWA corruption. Palestinians may get functioning governance instead of Hamas terrorism. Israel gets security guarantees and diplomatic legitimacy. Regional powers get influence proportional to their investment.

The establishment hates it because Trump proved you don't need them. You don't need Foggy Bottom's nod. You don't need the UN's assent. You just need leverage, vision, and the willingness to solve problems rather than manage them.

The Donald, the iconoclast, just tore down a disease-riddled institution and built a new one in its place.

Bravo.
