The Trump-led Board of Peace points to a shift away from international law and multilateral institutions toward a system built on loyalty, coercion and financial leverage.

In the aftermath of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, the contours of a new geopolitical phase have begun to emerge, led by US President Donald Trump through the announcement of what has been called the Peace Council. This body is not merely a technical administrative committee to oversee Palestinian reconstruction efforts. At its core, it appears to function as an engineered instrument for managing major crises outside the traditional international frameworks in which Washington and Tel Aviv have become legally and morally constrained.

The council represents a hybrid structure that goes beyond the concept of the state, incorporating political and economic levels drawn from the private sector and wealthy elites. Absolute authority is concentrated in the hands of Trump and his inner circle, which includes figures such as Tony Blair, Marco Rubio, and Steve Witkoff, extending to the integration of Benjamin Netanyahu as a central actor despite ongoing international legal pursuits.

The very nature of this council’s composition reflects a systematic American Israeli attempt to establish a parallel order aimed at undermining the system that has governed the world since 1945.

To understand this shift, it is necessary to return to the historical roots that shaped our contemporary world. The United Nations and its institutions – such as the Security Council and the International Court of Justice – emerged as a direct product of the rise of the United States as the dominant power following the Second World War.

That order was built on the Bretton Woods arrangements and the legitimacy of the victors, with international law designed to align with Western interests, ensure the stability of the capitalist system, and at the heart of it all, guarantee absolute protection for the Zionist project that emerged in the same era under the moral pretext of compensation for what became known as the Holocaust and the fight against antisemitism.
