From the very first day of his presidency, President Donald Trump has been portraying himself as an ‘ambassador of world peace.’ His 2024 election campaign was orchestrated with slogans of ‘no more wars’ and ‘Make America Great Again.’ As of now, President Trump claims to have ended nearly eight wars worldwide. However, the question of the longevity of these peace agreements is still intact.

Trump’s plan to turn Gaza into the ‘Riviera of the Middle East’ is reflected in this newly published 32-page article. This phase is further divided into four major stages, amongst which the first two will be part of phase two of the 20-point peace plan:

This is the final phase of the peace plan. This phase is marked by the creation of the Board of Peace to oversee the governance and reconstruction of Gaza. The last two stages of Project Sunrise are an integral part of this phase:

The Board of Peace was proposed by President Trump in September 2025 and was approved by the United Nations Security Council. On 15 January 2025, the Trump administration formally announced the establishment of the Gaza Board of Peace, or, if not exaggerated, ‘Trump’s Board of Peace.’ The creation of this board raises numerous questions.
