What Happened | President Trump is inviting world leaders to join his new Board of Peace, charging $1 billion for permanent membership. The board aims to oversee Gaza reconstruction and address other global conflicts. The Kremlin confirmed Monday that Vladimir Putin received an invitation through diplomatic channels and is reviewing the details. | The White House announced the board's founding executive committee on Friday. Trump will chair the committee, which includes Secretary of State Marco Rubio, special envoy Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, World Bank President Ajay Banga, and billionaire investor Marc Rowan. The board will oversee the allocation and use of funds for Gaza rebuilding. Countries can opt for three-year terms without paying, or secure permanent seats by contributing $1 billion within the first year. | At least a dozen nations confirmed receiving invitations. This group includes Canada, Egypt, Turkey, Argentina, India, Pakistan, Jordan, Greece, Cyprus, Hungary, and the European Union. The board will have authority to oversee the second phase of the Israel Hamas ceasefire. Its mandate includes managing the deployment of an international security force, directing Hamas disarmament, and coordinating Gaza reconstruction. | Why It Matters | Gaza sits in ruins after years of bombardment following Hamas's October 2023 attack on Israel. Reconstruction requires massive funding, international coordination, and political will to implement the fragile ceasefire's second phase. Trump's board creates a structure outside existing international institutions such as the United Nations, which he views as ineffective. | | | You might call RAD Intel the ROAS King.

Rather than relying on assessed contributions or voluntary donations filtered through bureaucracies, Trump's model demands upfront investment from nations seeking influence. A U.S. official told CNN that the funds will go directly to reconstruction. They said it will avoid exorbitant salaries or administrative overhead. | Putin's invitation raises questions given Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine, which is approaching its fourth year. While Trump has expressed frustration with Putin's unwillingness to make concessions on Ukraine despite months of negotiations, the invitation suggests he still views Putin as a necessary partner for global conflict resolution. It may also signal an attempt to see whether Gaza cooperation could unlock progress on Ukraine. | As chairman, Trump will approve which member states can join. The draft charter requires only three member states to agree before the board becomes official. This bypasses the consensus building that often bogs down United Nations initiatives but raises concerns about accountability. | Israeli officials reacted negatively despite being the primary beneficiary. Prime Minister Netanyahu's office said the announcement was not coordinated with Israel and contradicts Israeli policy. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called the plan bad for Israel and demanded its cancellation, arguing that Gaza belongs to Israel. | How It Affects You | Under the proposed plan, American taxpayers would not directly fund the board as long as other nations pay their membership fees. The $1 billion commitments would finance Gaza reconstruction that might otherwise require U.S. appropriations. This could reduce the American financial burden, depending on how many countries participate. It would also depend on whether the U.S. ultimately supplements any shortfalls. | Ongoing conflict in Gaza creates refugee flows, terrorism risks, and opportunities for Iranian influence that complicate U.S. security objectives. A functioning reconstruction process could reduce long term costs tied to military intervention and humanitarian aid. Failure could lead to another cycle of conflict within years. | If Russia were to join and the board functions reasonably well, new channels for progress on Ukraine could open. If Putin rejects the invitation, it is likely that any ongoing or future peace talks regarding Ukraine could stall. | Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney accepted his invitation but said he wants guarantees that humanitarian aid will reach Gaza before committing to a permanent seat. Other countries are likely watching closely to see whether they can negotiate their own terms rather than accept Trump's terms outright. | The difference between a board with meaningful international participation and one that struggles to get off the ground could come down to how much flexibility Trump shows in these early negotiations. | | More breaking news below… | Early-year markets are sorting winners quietly, not broadly.
