Report: Trump’s Peace Council Grants Itself Legal Immunity, Access To Public Assets In Gaza

Jun 28, 2026·2 min read

JERUSALEM (VINnews) — The Peace Council established by U.S. President Donald Trump to manage the Gaza Strip is planning to grant itself broad legal immunity and free access to land.

According to a report on Sunday morning in the British Guardian, cited by Israel’s Channel 13, a draft resolution obtained by the newspaper shows that the council, reportedly approved by the UN, plans to grant itself sweeping legal immunity. According to the draft, the organization would also be able to take ownership of public assets in the Gaza Strip “free of charge.”

The decision document, spanning four pages and described as “sensitive but unclassified,” grants extensive protection to all members of the Peace Council, the administrative branch of the office of the High Representative, as well as Palestinian technocrats, international military forces, and foreign contractors expected to operate in Gaza.

The draft defines immunity from legal proceedings as protection from “any arrest, detention, or legal proceedings in courts or other bodies in Gaza.” However, it is unclear from the document whether the immunity would also exempt council members from prosecution in international courts.

According to the draft resolution, Council Chairman Trump would have the authority to revoke an individual’s immunity, subject to approval by a majority of council members.

The “Executive Council,” which consists of seven members and leads the body, reportedly includes Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, special envoy Steve Witkoff, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
