What is the Board of Peace and its significance?

Stephen K. Bannon 0:00

As part of this historic record of major peace initiatives, today we're announcing more details regarding the Board of Peace, so important. This board has the chance to be one of the most consequential bodies ever created, and it's my enormous honor to serve as its chairman. I was very honored when they asked me to do it. We had an idea to do it, and then they came and they said, you'll be the chairman. And but I take it very seriously. We have a great group of people and incredible young people that are leading it from within. It's running beautifully started already. and every country just about every country wants to be a part of it and we just sent out the letters a couple of days ago and these are just the countries that are here they happen to be in davos so we said would be honored if you wanted to join us up on the stage and it's really great they're friends of mine i think let me see

Stephen K. Bannon 1:04

Yeah, every one of them is a friend of mine. A couple, let's see, a couple I like, a couple I don't like.

How is the humanitarian aid situation in Gaza evolving?

Stephen K. Bannon 1:12

No, I like, actually, this group, I like every single one of them. Can you believe it? Usually I have about two or three that I can't stand. Thank you. Usually I have two or three that I don't like. I don't find them up here. I like every one of these people. No, they're great people. They're great leaders. And the Board of Peace is composed of leaders, the top leaders in the world, actually.

What steps have been taken to secure the release of hostages?

Stephen K. Bannon 1:33

Last October, we released a plan for the permanent end to the conflict in Gaza. And I'm pleased to say that our vision was unanimously adopted by the United Nations Security Council late last year. Under phase one of this plan, we have painstakingly maintained that Gaza, and we're going to have it very strongly, and it's what we have. Maintained the Gaza ceasefire, delivered record levels of humanitarian aid. We've given aid, you know, you used to hear all the people were starving and it was terrible. Now we have you don't hear that anymore. We've delivered record levels of humanitarian aid. I want to thank the United States, but I want to thank some of the countries, some of the countries that are sitting right up here because they've sent great aid, great aid also in the form of money where we go out and purchase food.

Stephen K. Bannon 2:25

And you don't hear those stories anymore with people starving. and secured the release of all 20.

What is the vision for Gaza's future development?

Stephen K. Bannon 2:31

You know, we secured the release of all 20 living hostages. Now, I want to thank Steve Witkoff and Jared and everybody for doing, working so hard. They worked so hard, but there were 20 remaining living hostages. Now, we got hundreds out, but the last 20, I said, boy, that's going to be a tough one. I said that a year before. And it was a tough one, but we got them at all 20, every one of them. And we had also about 28 that were dead. But the parents wanted them just as though they were living just as much. Some cases, it almost seemed more. It was amazing, actually, the love.

How does the Board of Peace plan to implement its strategies?

Stephen K. Bannon 3:12

But their boy had been killed. In just about all cases, young men, their baby, their boy had been killed and they wanted the body of their boy. And it looked like it couldn't be done. And with the exception of one, and we're close on the track of that, we've got them all, every single one of them, which is amazing. It's a rough job. That was a rough job. And I've been very clear that Hamas must return that last remaining deceased hostage as well. And that will be the full commitment. And then we get on to other things. And we're committed to ensuring Gaza is demilitarized, properly governed, and beautifully rebuilt. It's going to be a great plan. And that's where the Board of Peace really started. And I think we can spread out to other things as we succeed with Gaza.

Stephen K. Bannon 4:08

We're going to be very successful in Gaza. It's going to be a great thing to watch. And now to bring the Board of Peace into full force, I ask Sheikh Issa of Bahrain and Foreign Minister Barita of Morocco to join me in signing and ratifying the Board of Peace Charter. Thank you very much, everybody. Appreciate it. Thank you.
