The Board of Peace is an international body launched by former U.S. President Donald Trump in January 2026 as part of his broader peace initiative connected to the Gaza conflict. It was designed to oversee postwar governance, reconstruction, and long-term stability in the Gaza Strip following years of war between Israel and Hamas. The initiative grew out of Trump’s 20-point Gaza peace plan, which aimed to end the war, demilitarize Hamas, and establish a framework for governance, reconstruction, and economic recovery in the region. The Board is intended to operate under a UN Security Council resolution, which authorizes it to play a transitional governance role in Gaza, with Trump serving as chairman. Mbuyiseni Ndlozi is in conversation with Senior Researcher at Mapungubwe Institute for Strategic Reflection and Humanity, Na'eem Jeenah.

During Donald Trump’s first year back in office (January 20, 2025 – January 20, 2026), his administration pursued a series of highly controversial geopolitical actions that drew widespread international attention. On his first day back in office, he signed an executive order pausing all U.S. foreign aid to allow a full review of what the administration considered aligned with U.S. interests. Most foreign development assistance was halted, including longstanding programs that delivered medicine, food, clean water, education, and health services in dozens of countries. Mbuyiseni Ndlozi is in conversation with RiskRecon Director and International Relations Expert, Dr Kingsley Makhubela.
