Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to join Donald Trump's Board of Peace, an international organization aimed at promoting stability and peace in conflict zones. The board's charter, which enters into force with the consent of three states, outlines functions that appear to supplant those of the UN. Several countries including Bahrain, Egypt, the UAE, Albania, and others have also agreed to join, while some, like Norway, France, and Sweden, have declined. Trump will serve as chairman with exclusive authority over the board's structure, and the US will be represented separately. The founding Executive Board includes figures like Marco Rubio, Jared Kushner, and Tony Blair. Member states can secure a permanent place on the board with a $1 billion contribution.
