Trump's Board of Peace Is Dividing Countries in Europe and the Middle East
Some countries confirmed participation in Trump’s Gaza Board of Peace while others declined, citing concerns over aid guarantees and the board’s lifetime chairmanship provision.
- On Thursday in Davos, the charter signing for President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace is scheduled at 10:30 a.m., as the U.S. pushes to form the group at the World Economic Forum this week.
- Countries hesitated over the Board’s expanded remit and funding model as several European countries, including France and Sweden, declined backing citing weak aid guarantees for Gaza and possible expansion beyond reconstruction.
- Participation tallies show a wide invite list but only 18 confirmations; the United Arab Emirates, Hungary, Argentina, Kazakhstan, Morocco, Vietnam, and Belarus confirmed, with roughly 60 invited and about 30 expected.
- The United Nations pushed back, limiting the board’s mandate to Gaza as a UN deputy spokesperson said the Security Council authorized it strictly for Gaza work and the Secretary-General has not been invited.
- Trump’s broader ambitions for the board raise geopolitical stakes as Russian President Vladimir Putin reportedly accepted an invitation while critics warn the project could undermine the U.N. Charter and international order.
