Guterres Says He’s Working With Trump’s Peace Group on Gaza

UN Secretary‑General Guterres Discusses Collaboration with Trump’s Board of Peace on Gaza Rebuilding

The U.N. Secretary‑General Antonio Guterres revealed that he is working with Donald Trump’s newly formed Board of Peace on plans to rebuild Gaza. He noted that the board’s objective—financing and delivering basic reconstruction for Palestinian homes and infrastructure—has received approval from the Security Council.

Key Points

• The board is part of a broader effort, not the sole solution to Gaza’s challenges.
• International law and the U.N. Charter remain guiding principles for any peace initiative.

Guterres also urged the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has recently closed. He suggested that the U.N. could help secure this vital waterway and reduce regional tensions.

Additional Context

• He has not spoken directly with President Trump since hostilities began, but maintains communication with other administration officials.
• Guterres remains committed to a peaceful resolution while upholding global legal standards.
