Consider taking some time to broker peace (7)
I believe the answer is:
mediate
'to broker peace' is the definition.
'consider taking some time' is the wordplay.
'consider' becomes 'meditate' (I've seen this before).
'taking' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'some time' becomes 't'.
'meditate' with 't' removed is 'MEDIATE'.
(Other definitions for mediate that I've seen before include "moderate" , "Intervene, act as go-between" , "Act as intermediary" , "Act between parties to reconcile differences" , "To referee" .)
