AI Summary

long article 6 min

Donald Trump has proposed a "Board of Peace," intended to maintain international peace and security, with himself as inaugural chairman holding significant unilateral power. Several nations, including Saudi Arabia, Israel, Egypt, Belarus, Pakistan and Hungary, have agreed to join the initiative, with a signing ceremony planned in Switzerland. France, Norway, and Sweden have declined to participate. The board's creation follows a UN Security Council resolution endorsing a similar body to oversee Gaza's redevelopment through 2027, stemming from a U.S.-brokered peace plan. Critics view Trump's Board of Peace as an attempt to dismantle the existing international system and centralize global power under his control, potentially undermining the United Nations.
