What were the BoP’s goals?

The BoP’s mission was laid out in Trump’s 20-point Gaza peace plan, as was the “ceasefire” between Israel and Hamas. The ceasefire began on October 10, 2025.

The plan envisioned steps for each side to take that could eventually create a “credible pathway” to Palestinian statehood.

It required Israeli forces to withdraw to about 50 percent of the Gaza Strip and cease aerial and artillery bombardments. It also required Israel to release 250 Palestinian prisoners and another 1,700 people jailed from Gaza since October 7, 2023, the day that Hamas led attacks into southern Israel and Israel began the war. The plan proposed reopening border crossings to allow much-needed aid into Gaza.

The peace plan required Hamas to release all Israeli captives. It also proposed a later phase in which the group would disarm and its members would be granted amnesty or a safe exit from Gaza.

The peace plan established the BoP as a transitional governing body until the Palestinian Authority, which governs parts of the occupied West Bank, could take over.

An International Stabilization Force (ISF), led by the US, was supposed to take over security in Gaza from withdrawing Israeli forces, the plan stated. It also proposed the reconstruction and redevelopment of Gaza, whose people, it said, “have suffered enough”.

What has the BoP done in the past year?

In February, the BoP’s members, who each joined in exchange for a $1bn annual fee, met in Washington, DC, for its first summit, at which member states pledged $7bn in funding although aid agencies said reconstructing Gaza would cost closer to $70bn.

On the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York last month, the BoP also unveiled a 66-project recovery plan worth $2.4bn.

What has BoP achieved?

The BoP’s achievements are tied to the success of the Gaza peace plan.

Under that, Hamas has released all 168 living captives and Israel has freed Palestinian prisoners.

Hamas has also announced the dissolution of its government in the Gaza Strip although Israel has dismissed that as a “stunt”.

Other goals under the peace plan have been only partially met.

Governance has been hampered. While a National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), meant to act as the governing authority in Gaza, was founded, Israel has not granted it entry into the Strip. The NCAG reports directly to the board and is led by Chief Commissioner Ali Shaath and other Palestinian technocrats. It operates from Cairo. Israel has not stated why the committee is not permitted to enter Gaza.

Aid remains restricted. About 227 aid trucks enter the Strip daily when 600 trucks were supposed to, according to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) hunger monitor.

Israel has classified thousands of basic items, such as tents and essential equipment like ventilators, as “dual use” items, which means they have military and civilian applications, and has restricted their flow into the Strip. About 1.4 million Palestinians – or most of Gaza’s more than 2 million people – will suffer hunger until at least December, the IPC has noted. That is 200,000 more than those who faced hunger in May, suggesting a significantly deteriorating situation.

What has not been achieved?

Observers argued that the BoP has entirely failed to secure the “ceasefire” as Israeli attacks have continued almost daily on the Strip.

Since October 10, 2025, more than 1,400 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed. In the three years since the war began, more than 74,000 Palestinians have been killed, and thousands more are missing and presumed dead under the rubble.

Israel says its continuing attacks target Hamas members, but the group vehemently denies the claims.

Israel also now occupies about 60 percent of the Strip, more than the 50 percent agreed in Trump’s peace plan. The “Yellow Line”, which demarcates the area of Gaza under Israeli occupation, has been pushed farther into the Strip, causing further displacement and squeezing Gaza’s population into an ever-shrinking area. Palestinians unknowingly crossing the “Yellow Line” have been shot dead.

In December, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said the army “will never fully leave” the Strip.

Mohamad Elmasry at the Doha Institute of Graduate Studies told Al Jazeera that Israel is simply continuing a broader policy of “ethnic cleansing” in Gaza and the occupied West Bank. “They are making life miserable,” he said, adding: “This is all by design.”

Consequently, the BoP has also failed to ensure Hamas disarms so phase two of the peace plan could begin.

Although Hamas has agreed to hand its weapons over to the NCAG, it rejects the “disarmament” clause because Israel has not ceased its attacks or withdrawn from the Strip as agreed. At the same time, Israel has said it will not move forward with the plan if Hamas does not disarm, leaving the two sides in a standoff.

Meanwhile, no stabilisation force has been deployed. Six countries – Indonesia, Morocco, Kazakhstan, Albania, Kosovo and Uganda – have so far committed personnel to form a security force of 20,000 soldiers and 12,000 police headed by the US military’s Central Command (CENTCOM).

There has been no meaningful reconstruction in Gaza. Palestinians continue to live in tent camps infested with rodents and insects with little to shield them from intense heat, or rain.

Will BoP take over from UNRWA?

The Trump administration and BoP have echoed Israel’s rejection of the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees, or UNRWA, which has long provided lifesaving humanitarian aid, education, development programmes and social services in Gaza and employs about 11,000 Palestinians.

The BoP said last month that it will not work with UNRWA, essentially sidelining the agency.

A BoP official told The Associated Press news agency that UNRWA could continue working in Gaza if its programmes were deemed relevant but the agency’s “days are over”.

UNRWA said the move was “not logical”.

In June, the UN General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to extend UNRWA’s mandate until 2029. The BoP itself is mandated to oversee the peace process until December 2027 when its progress will be reviewed for possible renewal by the UN.

Analysts and rights groups have raised concerns that the BoP could take over all aspects of Gaza’s rebuilding. Countries too, including France and other European nations, have called out any attempts to replace the UN in the Strip.

But Elmasry said no country is willing to take action. “There are a lot of international actors that do not want to cross the US,” he said. That essentially leaves the fate of more than 2 million Palestinians to Trump, he added.

Ultimately, the BoP has “failed”, said Simon Mabon, a professor at Lancaster University.

“The failure to implement its own plan to end the Gaza conflict demonstrates its impotence and the inability to ensure that Israel and, to a lesser extent, Hamas, remain bound by their own commitments [and] has allowed the genocide to continue,” he concluded.

The board of peace was never intended to actually do anything. Libs need to accept that the IQ needed to understand the genius of Trump far exceeds what any of us mortals can ever understand

>>1542874
Naah they're going to pave over the whole strip and build a huge joint US/Israeli military base.

No one is pretending that Trump isn't a puppet of Israel. Even the right have embraced it.

No one is pretending that Biden isn't a puppet of Ukraine. Even the left have embraced it.
Just compare the amount of dollars he sent to Ukraine with the amount of dollars Trump sent to Israel

>>1543054
Ukraine hasn’t even done anything for us. At least Israel is a trusted friend and ally

>No one is pretending that Biden isn't a puppet of Ukraine.
How does this even make sense? Putin started the war.

>>1543061
And Biden sent a couple hundred billion dollars to support Ukraine with Missiles Tanks and Equipment. He sent hundreds if not thousands of military advisors to the embassy at Kiev.
What did Obama do after the 2014 invasion of Crimea? Did he send Ukraine 200 billion in cash & military equipment? or did he just slap some sanctions on Putin and Russian oligarchs?

>>1543062
Yes and? What does that have to do with Putin's failed land grabs?

>>1543073
Sending 200 billion dollars in weapons, when the last guy sent blankets
https://www.congress.gov/116/meeting/house/110331/documents/HMKP-116-JU00-20191211-SD994.pdf
Obama sent Blankets, medical supplies and MREs.
Biden sent hundred of billions in military equipment.
Putin's landgrab in both cases, but Biden's response seemed disproportionate compared to Obama. Which is why people ask question about Biden's business ties in Ukraine, and whether or not he is a "puppet of ukraine", whether or not he was on their payroll

>>1543075
For one thing I like how the EU sending them billions in weapons and cash is totally absent from your calculations. For another thing you're missing the point that Putin attacked Ukraine only after he failed to take Georgia. For yet another thing, Biden didn't make the decisions to send anything to Ukraine. That isn't what the Vice President does. For the final thing, all of the "Biden business ties" were debunked when the only whistleblower turned out to be on Putin's payroll.

>>1543079
How many billions in weapons did the EU send in 2014, and how much did they send in 2022?
Your post seems to lack numbers.

>>1543092
Why bother when I'm arguing with a moron who uses James Comer's debunked talking points from the 2020 election. You already know Biden didn't do the things you claim he did, but you're still posting the same video as though Snopes didn't thoroughly destroy that argument years ago.

>>1543079
>or yet another thing, Biden didn't make the decisions to send anything to Ukraine. That isn't what the Vice President does.
No, he just took payments that were on the books hostage.
If you listen to the quote
>And I went over, I guess, the 12th, 13th time to Kiev. And I was supposed to announce that there was another billion-dollar loan guarantee. And I had gotten a commitment from Poroshenko and from Yatsenyuk that they would take action against the state prosecutor. And they didn't.

>So they said they had -- they were walking out to a press conference. I said, nah, I'm not going to -- or, we're not going to give you the billion dollars. They said, you have no authority. You're not the president. The president said -- I said, call him. I said, I'm telling you, you're not getting the billion dollars. I said, you're not getting the billion. I'm going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: I'm leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you're not getting the money. Well, son of a bitch. (Laughter.) He got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time.

This last part is most relevant to your claim "That isn't what the vice president does"
>They said, you have no authority. You're not the president. The president said -- I said, call him. I said, I'm telling you, you're not getting the billion dollar
The Ukranians said he didn't have the authority to make that decision, and Biden said in his own words "call the president he will say the same thing". Maybe that's not what the vice president does, but Biden seemed to be playing hardball in negotiation with the Ukranians, and had Obama's explicit or implicit backing.

cool now paste the snopes article which proves you wrong

>>1543061
Putin invaded the Donbas after Ukraine spent eight years conducting "48 hour anti-terrorist operations" against Russians living there. All of which happened after Obama helped the Maidan Revolution.
Biden under Obama was also using his son to sell his influence in Ukraine by having him act as a board member of Burisma.
