‘For the world’: Trump launches his Board of Peace that some see rivalling UN

AI Summary

short article 1 min

Donald Trump launched the "Board of Peace" to oversee the ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict and potentially expand its role globally. Trump envisions the board, inaugurated at the World Economic Forum, as a body that could rival the United Nations, focusing initially on mapping out a future for Gaza. Despite Trump's assertion that "everyone wants to be a part," some of the United States' closest allies have declined to participate, expressing skepticism about the board's membership and mandate. The announcement coincides with news that the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt is expected to open in both directions next week. The board was initially conceived as a small group of world leaders, but has evolved into a more ambitious project.
