President Donald Trump on Monday announced that he would lead a "Board of Peace," made up of heads of state and former heads of state, to oversee the rebuilding of the Gaza Strip and the region's transition to Palestinian governance.

"My plan calls for the creation of a new international oversight body, the board of peace," Trump said in a press conference. "We call it the 'board of peace.'"

"The leaders of the Arab world and Israel and everybody involved asked me to do this so beheaded by a gentleman known as President Donald J Trump of the United States," he added.

Trump further noted that Israeli Prime Minister opposed a two-state solution to the Israel-Gaza conflict, but applauded him for conceding the point and agreeing to support the president's 20-point plan.

"In our meeting today, Prime Minister Netanyahu was very clear about his opposition to a Palestinian state, and he continuously mentions October 7m" he said. "And I understand that most people do, and I understand and respect his position on many things, but what he's doing today is so good for Israel. "
