WASHINGTON, D.C. November 19, 2025 – President Donald J. Trump declared victory in brokering an end to the prolonged conflict in Gaza, revealing that the United Nations Security Council has formally backed what he called the “Trump Peace Plan” just two days ago.
Speaking at the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum in Washington, President Trump told attendees: “We ended the war in Gaza and two days ago, incredibly, the United Nations Security Council backed the Trump Peace Plan… We have 59 countries signed on… They endorsed, the United Nations, what’s called The Board of Peace chaired by a person called Donald J. Trump.”
The announcement marks a major foreign policy achievement in the opening weeks of Trump’s second term, following his inauguration in January 2025. The Department of State highlighted the president’s remarks in a video posted to its official X account, underscoring the administration’s emphasis on decisive Middle East diplomacy.
Details of the peace plan and the newly established “Board of Peace” — described as an international body chaired by President Trump himself — have not been fully disclosed, but the reported support from 59 nations and the UN Security Council represents a significant multilateral endorsement.
The development comes amid broader efforts by the Trump administration to reshape global alliances and prioritize “America First” deal-making in international conflicts. White House officials have described the Gaza breakthrough as evidence that Trump’s personal negotiating style has delivered where previous administrations failed.
Reactions poured in swiftly on social media, with supporters hailing it as a Nobel Peace Prize-worthy accomplishment and critics questioning the long-term viability and specifics of the arrangement.
The Gaza war, which intensified in late 2023 and persisted through much of 2024–2025, had resulted in tens of thousands of casualties and widespread regional instability before the reported ceasefire and peace framework took effect.
Further briefings from the White House and State Department are expected in the coming days as implementation of the plan moves forward.
