Poland to prepare for membership in US-initiated Board of Peace

Poland is set to begin preparations for joining the Board of Peace, an international initiative launched by U.S. President Donald Trump, according to Marcin Przydacz, Head of the Bureau of International Policy at the Office of the Polish President.

Pszidach stressed the importance of defining Poland’s position on the council and initiating the necessary preparatory work. He noted that the accession process will require the support of the Council of Ministers and subsequent ratification by the Sejm, Poland’s lower house of parliament, Caliber.Az reports via Polish media.

“We believe it is necessary to start preparatory work for joining this Council. However, to make this possible, a resolution from the Council of Ministers must first be adopted, followed by final approval expressed in law,” Przydacz said.

The issue of Poland’s membership is expected to be discussed at a meeting of the National Security Council, convened by President Karol Nawrocki on February 11.

The Board of Peace is a newly created international organisation initiated by U.S. President Donald J. Trump as part of his broader strategy to manage conflict and promote peace, beginning with the aftermath of the war in the Gaza Strip. The concept was first proposed in September 2025 alongside a 20‑point Gaza ceasefire plan and was later endorsed by the UN Security Council in Resolution 2803, which welcomed the establishment of the board to support reconstruction and transitional administration efforts in Gaza.

The board’s charter was formally signed at a ceremony in January 2026 at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where Trump announced the organisation’s launch and its mission to coordinate reconstruction, humanitarian aid, and long‑term peacebuilding in conflict‑affected regions.

While its initial mandate under the UN resolution is limited to Gaza through December 2027, the board’s charter suggests broader ambitions to engage in peace efforts beyond that conflict. Some analysts and officials describe it as a new body aimed at promoting stability and conflict resolution globally, though it operates outside traditional UN institutional frameworks.
