Carney Steps Into Key Role on Trump’s New Gaza ‘Board of Peace’

Former Bank of England governor Mark Carney has agreed to join U.S. President Donald Trump’s newly created Board of Peace, an international body tasked with shaping Gaza’s political and economic future after the recent ceasefire. A Canadian official confirmed the decision, describing it as part of a broader diplomatic effort to stabilize the region.

The Board of Peace is designed to coordinate reconstruction, support interim governance, and work with regional partners as Gaza transitions out of conflict. Early members include senior U.S. officials and international figures with experience in diplomacy and post‑conflict planning.

Carney’s involvement is expected to focus on economic strategy, institutional rebuilding, and long‑term development frameworks. His background in global finance and crisis management has been cited as a key reason for the invitation.

A Palestinian technocratic committee has already begun meeting in Cairo to outline immediate administrative steps, signaling the start of a complex and politically sensitive rebuilding phase. Carney’s participation adds another high‑profile voice to the international effort.
