Trump’s ’Board of Peace’ Membership Will Be Obtained by Donating $1 Billion

US President Donald Trump has set a condition for countries to contribute $1 billion to join the 'Board of Peace' proposed international board for peace reconstruction in Gaza. The control of this money will be completely in Trump's hands.

According to the Bloomberg report, according to the rules of the draft charter, Trump will be the first chairman and will have veto power over the admission of new members. Generally, no country can be a member for more than three years, but the term can be extended if more than $1 billion is donated in the first year.

The White House has already announced the names of the members of the Gaza Executive Board. It includes former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. The board will oversee the administration and reconstruction of post-war Gaza.

An executive board is also being formed under the Board of Peace. The names of the members of this board have also been announced. The board will oversee the post-war management of Gaza. It will include several other world leaders, whose names are expected to be announced at the World Economic Forum in Davos next week.

The charter of the board was sent to a dozen heads of state on Saturday, inviting them to become members. The document suggests that Donald Trump is seeking to create an international organization that could be an alternative or rival to the United Nations.

The charter describes the Board of Peace as an international organization whose mission is to bring stability to conflict-affected or conflict-prone regions, restore legitimate and effective governance, and ensure long-term peace. The organization can officially begin its activities only if three member states support it.

The White House has not yet commented on the matter. However, Israel objected to the list of board members on Saturday. They have particularly opposed the inclusion of Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, Qatari senior diplomat Ali Sawadi and Egyptian intelligence chief Hassan Rashad.

The Israeli Prime Minister's Office said in a statement that the announcement of the formation of the Gaza Executive Board was not made in coordination with Israel and is contrary to the country's policy. The statement added that the Prime Minister has instructed the Israeli Foreign Minister to contact the US Secretary of State on the matter.

The Palestinian armed group Islamic Jihad has also criticized the formation of the committee. They claim that the board is protecting Israeli interests. The organization said in a statement that the board was formed according to Israeli standards and will work in the interests of the occupying power. This already indicates bad intentions regarding the implementation of the ceasefire agreement.

The White House said that the board will help build effective governance and ensure high-quality services to advance peace, stability and prosperity. The Gaza Executive Board is separate from the main executive board. Although many of the members of both boards will be the same, the Gaza Executive Board will only oversee the reconstruction project in Gaza. The main executive board will have broad oversight of the entire reconstruction process.

Trump is seeking to create an alternative international organization to the United Nations through the board - a new debate in world diplomacy. The board's activities will be formalized when at least three countries agree to a charter.

Analysts say Trump's measures focused on money and control seem like colonial practices to many. Fox News analyst Guy Benson said that the idea as an alternative to the United Nations is good, but it will be difficult to get all countries to join Trump's single control.
