Guterres Says He’s Working With Trump’s Peace Group on Gaza

The U. N. Secretary‑General Antonio Guterres told a news outlet that he is collaborating with Donald Trump’s newly formed Board of Peace on plans to rebuild Gaza. He said the board’s goal—financing and delivering basic reconstruction for Palestinian homes and infrastructure—was approved by the Security Council. Guterres emphasized that this board is only one part of a larger effort and added that it should not be seen as the sole solution to Gaza’s many challenges. He stressed the importance of international law and the U. N. Charter as guiding principles for any peace initiative.He also called for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has closed in recent weeks. Guterres suggested that the U. N. could help secure the waterway and work toward reducing tensions in the region. The Secretary‑General noted that he has not spoken directly with President Trump since hostilities began, but he has communicated with other officials in the administration. He remains committed to supporting a peaceful resolution while respecting global legal standards.
