Trump's Board of Peace has held discussions with DP World about the Emirati logistics company playing a role in Gaza reconstruction. The proposal examined having the firm manage supply chains and logistics as part of the US plan for the devastated enclave.

DP World, one of the world's largest port operators, operates terminals in more than 40 countries and handles significant cargo volumes through its Dubai-based operations. The company's extensive experience in supply chain management across the Middle East made it a candidate for the reconstruction role.

The talks represent an effort to bring private sector expertise into the massive reconstruction challenge facing Gaza after months of conflict. The involvement of a major Emirati logistics firm could help address infrastructure needs and facilitate the flow of aid and building materials into the territory.

The Board of Peace, formed during Trump's first term, aims to attract international business investment to conflict zones as part of broader diplomatic efforts.
