Poland and Italy Say They Will Not Join Trump’s Board of Peace

On Saturday, Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said Italy will not take part in US President Donald Trump's `Board of Peace`, citing 'insurmountable' constitutional issues.
Tajani argued the charter's structure—naming a veto-wielding chairman—conflicts with Article 11 of the Italian constitution, which precludes joining organisations unless states are equal.
After meetings in Milan with US officials, Tajani noted Italy would train Gaza police while reports say the board demands $1b for permanent seats and lists 26 members including Qatar and Egypt.
Italy's decision adds it to other European refusals such as France, Germany and the United Kingdom, while Giorgia Meloni, Prime Minister of Italy, last month flagged constitutional problems but suggested Trump might reopen the framework.
Launched at Davos in January, the initiative was greenlit by the United Nations last year and is preparing for its first meeting in Washington, DC on February 19.
