Trump's Board of Peace Claims Right to Confiscate Palestinian Land in Gaza, Immunity From Prosecution: Report
The draft would shield board members and affiliates from arrest or court action while allowing free use of property in Gaza, The Guardian reported.
- The Guardian reported Saturday that a draft resolution for President Donald Trump's Board of Peace grants 'sweeping immunity' to its members for their actions in Gaza, protecting them from 'any arrest, detention or legal proceedings in the courts.'
- Established in January to oversee Gaza's reconstruction, the Board is now considering this 'sensitive but unclassified' resolution to shield itself from legal accountability for its operations in the region.
- The draft includes a 'Third Party Liability/Claims' system to adjudicate issues arising from its work, while critics argue it could facilitate the 'illegal confiscation of Palestinian property' for its missions.
- Rutgers New Brunswick professor Noura Erakat argued the resolution removes 'external oversight, including applicable international law regarding occupation,' effectively insulating the Board from accountability.
- An official with the Board dismissed these reports, stating 'there is no operative resolution or immunity framework' of this kind, while Trump retains the power to waive immunity pending majority support.
