The Board of Peace, an international organization founded at the World Economic Forum in Davos, is set to request the United Nations Security Council to press Hamas to disarm. This initiative comes as part of broader efforts to de-escalate the ongoing Israel-Hamas war and promote stability in the region.
Background of the Board of Peace
Established in January 2026, the Board of Peace was launched by President Donald Trump, Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev, and Bulgaria's Prime Minister Rossen Jeliazkov during the Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The charter signing marked a commitment to mediate conflicts and foster diplomatic solutions worldwide.
Key Demands
The Board of Peace intends to formally petition the UN Security Council to adopt a resolution calling for Hamas to surrender its weapons. This demand is seen as a prerequisite for any lasting ceasefire and peace negotiations between Israel and Palestinian factions.
- Disarmament of Hamas as a condition for humanitarian aid access
- Establishment of a monitoring mechanism to verify compliance
- Renewed commitment to a two-state solution
International Reactions
While details of the proposal are still emerging, it is expected to generate significant debate among Security Council members. Some nations may support the move as a step toward de-escalation, while others could view it as biased against Palestinian interests. The Board of Peace emphasizes that disarmament is essential for protecting civilians and enabling reconstruction efforts in Gaza.
The initiative reflects growing international concern over the protracted conflict, which has caused widespread casualties and displacement. By involving the UN Security Council, the Board of Peace hopes to leverage multilateral pressure to achieve a breakthrough.
