As of this time, mainstream news sources such as the Reuters, Associated Press,The New York Times, and BBC News have not reported on the formation of this “Board of Peace” or the appointments mentioned in the original source. Searches on these platforms using keywords “Trump Gaza Board of Peace”, “Trump gaza Reconstruction”, and individual names (Rubio, Blair, Kushner, Witkoff, Sha’ath) yield no relevant results beyond reporting on past events.
