The planned Board of Peace meeting, focused on the Gaza Strip ceasefire and reconstruction, could positively impact construction and related industries if significant funding is secured. However, the cautious international reaction and concerns about undermining the United Nations suggest potential geopolitical instability, which could introduce market uncertainty.
The United States===White House is planning to host the first leaders' meeting of President Donald Trump's 'Board of Peace' on February 19 in Washington. The meeting, first reported by Axios, will serve as both an inaugural gathering for the board and a fundraising conference for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip. Donald Trump, who chairs the board, launched the initiative in late January with an initial focus on Gaza's temporary governance under his peace plan, later expanding its mandate to resolve global conflicts. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accepted an invitation for Israel to join the board and is scheduled to meet Donald Trump the day before the summit. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has confirmed his attendance. The meeting is expected to take place at the United States Institute of Peace, which the administration seized and renamed. Concerns have been raised by experts that this board could undermine the United Nations, despite a UN Security Council resolution authorizing the board's role in Gaza stabilization. Many traditional Western allies have reacted cautiously to the invitation, while some Middle Eastern allies have joined. The fragile ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, which began in October under a Trump plan signed by Israel and Hamas, has seen repeated violations.
