Trump officials also unveiled ambitious plans for a "New Gaza" during the ceremony at the World Economic Forum, with the US leader describing the devastated Palestinian territory as "great real estate". Trump's Board of Peace was created after Trump expressed frustration at failing to win the Nobel Peace Prize and ramped up accusations the United Nations had failed to resolve a host of international conflicts. The Board of Peace, of which Trump is the chairman, was initially designed to oversee the Gaza truce and the reconstruction of the strip after the war between Hamas and Israel. Trump told Hamas to disarm under the next phase of the Gaza ceasefire accord or it would be the "end of them". Zelensky said his meeting with Trump was "positive" but conceded that dialogue with the US president was "not simple".
