Board of Peace Debuts Gaza Vision Amid Key Absences (Full Transcript)

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Here's what came out of the official Board of Peace signing ceremony. President Donald Trump was joined on stage by a group of world leaders and senior officials, but crucially, none of the U.S.'s closest European allies. And Trump said they can do whatever they want. Once this board is completely formed, we can do pretty much whatever we wanna do, and we'll do it in conjunction with the United Nations. Trump talked just a bit about Gaza, the first real effort of the Board of Peace, but it was his son-in-law, U.S. Envoy Jared Kushner, who gave some more details here. He showed a redevelopment map that's entirely disconnected from the reality on the ground in Gaza right now, including a port, an airport, multi-use towers along the beach, and much, much more. He said the U.S. was planning for catastrophic success. But the next phase, he said, was the disarmament of Hamas and the demilitarization of Gaza. Without that, he said, no one would wanna invest in Gaza, and this plan requires billions and billions of dollars. So will this all actually come together? Well, crucially missing from today's ceremony was Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was not in attendance in Davos, even though he agreed to Trump's invitation to join the Board of Peace. Israeli President Isaac Herzog was in Davos, but didn't attend the signing ceremony. Trump and his team talked as if the war in Gaza were completely over, but that is a decision that Israel's government has not yet made.
