Trump Unveils Board of Peace on the Most Post-Truce Fatal Day in Gaza 

Choosing the venue of Davos, official host to the prestigious World Economic Forum, President Donald Trump on January 22, 2026 unveiled a larger Board of Peace to oversee post-war Gaza operation. President Trump invited dozens of leaders across the world to join his Board of Peace. Several passed on that, citing that the very look of this board resembled an alternative forum of the U.N. Security Council because Trump touted it not only overseeing truce in Gaza but playing significant roles in other hotspots. 

During the January 22, 2026, unveiling event at Davos, Trump also introduced the leader of the Gaza Strip's technocratic government. Ali Shaath, a Gaza native, previously served in the Palestinian Authority administration. 

To know how divisive the very innocuous Board of Peace has become, nobody needs to look beyond the event where only leaders from 19 of 59 nations named to the board have attended. 

The same day the Board of Peace was unveiled at Davos, Israeli offensive killed 11 people in Gaza Strip, including three Palestinian journalists and two children, in the most fatal incident since the Gaza ceasefire had gone into effect on October 11, 2025. 

House Fails to Approve a War Authorization Vote

House of Representatives on January 22, 2026 deadlocked in a tie on a resolution that would require Congressional authorization prior to attacking Venezuela, thus giving a tenuous victory to President Donald Trump.
