The Board of Peace has unlimited potential. Last October, I released a Plan for the permanent end to the Conflict in Gaza, and our Vision was unanimously adopted by the United Nations Security Council. Shortly thereafter, we facilitated Humanitarian Aid at record speed, and secured the release of every living and deceased Hostage. Just last month, two dozen distinguished Founding Members joined me in Davos, Switzerland, to celebrate its official formation, and present a bold Vision for the Civilians in Gaza, and then, ultimately, far beyond Gaza — WORLD PEACE! On February 19th, 2026, I will again be joined by Board of Peace Members at the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace in Washington, D.C., where we will announce that Member States have pledged more than $5 BILLION DOLLARS toward the Gaza Humanitarian and Reconstruction efforts, and have committed thousands of personnel to the International Stabilization Force and Local Police to maintain Security and Peace for Gazans. Very importantly, Hamas must uphold its commitment to Full and Immediate Demilitarization. The Board of Peace will prove to be the most consequential International Body in History, and it is my honor to serve as its Chairman. PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

Google AI’s summary:
"Did Hamas demilitarize?” February 16th
AI Overview
As of mid-February 2026, Hamas has not demilitarized, despite intense pressure and negotiations under a U.S.-mediated peace plan. While they have engaged in talks and reportedly signaled potential willingness in, they continue to reject full disarmament, keeping control over weapons and maintaining a presence in parts of the Gaza Strip.

TO SUMMARIZE THAT SUMMARY: There is no negotiated peace in Gaza; there is only Trump’s proposal (and the U.N.’s shameful acceptance of it) for a Trump-imposed operation to complete the Israel-U.S.-Germany genocide to eliminate the Gazans. And that plan has received, according to Trump, a mere $5 billion in investments thus far. The Trump “Peace Plan” is fake.

The United Nations group that clears explosives from conflict zones tells NPR it has not started major clearing operations in Gaza, because Israel and Hamas have not yet agreed on the terms for disarmament of the territory.

“How Trump's tariffs push some importers into risky, high-cost loans”

President Trump's tariffs can create a cash crunch for importers. They have to pay the tariff bill before they can sell their products. Some have turned to a costly form of credit. But what looks like a helping hand can turn out to be a financial chokehold.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
