The White House announced that former United Kingdom prime minister David Cameron and United States Secretary of State Antony G. Rubio will serve on the founding executive board of the newly established Gaza “Board of Peace.” The appointment follows a decision by Washington to increase engagement with multiple stakeholders in the region in an effort to promote stability.

The board is set to convene shortly after its creation, with Cameron and Rubio expected to provide historical perspective and diplomatic experience. Cameron’s tenure in the UK government and former central role in European policy, combined with Rubio’s experience negotiating international accords, position the board to explore avenues for lasting security arrangements. The inclusion of high‑profile former officials signals a commitment by the United States to enhance its involvement in Middle Eastern peace processes. _2_ The board’s mandate, as outlined by the White House, is to facilitate dialogue among parties, propose actionable frameworks, and coordinate aid delivery. Rubois stated that the board will prioritize short‑term conflict resolution steps while keeping a long‑term vision in view. The United Nations is reported to support the board’s framework with technical and humanitarian resources. _3_ In addition to the board’s meeting schedule, the U.S. intends to open a series of parallel talks with local representatives and external experts. The involvement of a former UK prime minister is seen as a diplomatic bridge, potentially easing pressure on both sides. The announced collaboration may also open avenues for more comprehensive regional cooperation, as well as encourage other countries to present new proposals within the board’s agenda. The White House emphasized the need for cooperation from all sides to succeed in setting a sustainable and peaceful future for the region.
