The President has suggested his proposed “Board of Peace” in Gaza could serve as a replacement for the U.N., highlighting what one national security analyst has characterized as a revision of the “existing international order.”

When asked on Tuesday if he saw the new body taking the place of the U.N., Trump responded, “It might.”

During a White House press conference, the president also told reporters the U.N. has repeatedly failed to carry out its mission.

“The UN just hasn’t been very effective. I’m a big fan, but it has never reached its potential,” Trump said. While arguing the U.N. should continue to exist, he added, “The UN should have settled every single one of the wars that I settled.”

National security analyst Kobi Michael stated the proposal already marked a break from the international order that has governed global politics for decades.

“The norms, international institutions, organizations, and liberalism are out, and are in,” said , a senior researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies and the Misgav Institute, in comments to Digital, before adding that “the EU is far less important.”

Michael’s remarks come as the Trump administration moved ahead with plans for the board, an initiative officials say extends well beyond the immediate conflict in the Gaza Strip.

In a statement on Jan. 16, the White House said that, in line with the Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict, the “Board of Peace will play a crucial role in achieving all 20 points of the President’s plan, offering strategic oversight, rallying international resources, and ensuring accountability as Gaza transitions from conflict to peace and development.”

As previously reported by Digital, preparations are said to be in progress for a , Switzerland, with Bloomberg initially reporting the plans.

Officials confirmed “dozens” of countries were invited, with formal invitations sent Friday. Trump , Belarus, China, Ukraine, India, Canada, Argentina, Jordan, Egypt, Hungary, and Vietnam, among others.

The White House stated Trump will chair the Board of Peace and be accompanied by senior political, diplomatic, and business figures, including Jared Kushner, Secretary of State , U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff, and billionaire Marc Rowan.

According to Michael, the initiative reflects a fresh approach to the international system.

“We are discussing something that is much larger than the Gaza Strip,” he said, before describing “a revisionist approach by President Trump toward the existing international order, where the board is a tool in his vision to alter the current international order.”

Michael said of that calculation, as protests swept the country amid economic and political strain.

“Iran is the real game changer, and we are witnessing a very significant and dramatic shift, closely coordinated with Prime Minister Netanyahu,” he said.

Russia’s role on the board remains unclear, with the Trump administration extending invitations to Russia and Belarus, and Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirming President Vladimir .

Michael suggested Moscow’s participation would come with conditions. “If Putin is involved, it will be to bring an end to the Ukrainian war and force him to abandon some major demands,” he said. 

“The to join the board based on an understanding with him regarding the division of power and influence, promising to ease sanctions and strike a deal.”

“Still, alliances are out, while allies and regional structures are in,” Michael added.
