Donald Trump has invited multiple countries to join his newly formed "Board of Peace," intended to oversee the next phase in Gaza following the October 10th ceasefire. Several countries, including Hungary, India, Jordan, Greece, Cyprus, and Pakistan, confirmed receiving invitations, joining others like Canada and Turkey. The board's mandate includes establishing a new Palestinian committee in Gaza, deploying an international security force, disarming Hamas, and reconstructing the territory. A $1 billion contribution secures a permanent seat on the board, with funds earmarked for Gaza's rebuilding, while a three-year appointment requires no contribution. Trump's letters to world leaders suggest the Board of Peace aims to resolve global conflicts, potentially rivaling the United Nations, whose influence has been weakened by funding cuts and Security Council vetoes.
