The Board of Peace and the Business of War

In this episode, we examine Donald Trump’s proposed “Board of Peace” and what it means for Gaza, Palestine, Israel and the future of international law. Promoted as a reconstruction and peacekeeping plan after the devastation of Gaza since October 2023, the initiative raises serious questions about privatised rebuilding, geopolitical power, and the exclusion of Palestinian self-determination. Drawing parallels with the Iraq War and the terrible legacy of Tony Blair, we explore concerns about corruption, global governance, Australia’s foreign policy, and whether this is truly peace in the Middle East – or a new model of war and reconstruction politics.   #AUSPOL
