"The White House has invited at least 60 world leaders to join a body that Washington initially linked to the resolution of the war in the Palestinian enclave, but which takes the form of a global assembly that would have Trump as its leader, according to a draft of the founding charter to which Reuters and Bloomberg have had access."
"The charter, which the U.S. has sent to the countries invited to participate, says that Trump will have the right to decide who aspires to join the club and when and where their meetings and votes will be held. He will also have the final say on the decisions of the board, described in the draft as an entity to promote stability, restore dependable and lawful governance, and secure enduring peace in areas affected or threatened by conflict."
"A White House representative told Bloomberg on condition of anonymity that countries can join the Board of Peace at no cost for three years, but that their stay on the committee will depend on Trump. If countries pay $1 billion during the first year of the project, they will be guaranteed permanent membership. That money, he added, will be used for the reconstruction of Gaza."
The U.S. has invited at least 60 world leaders to join a Board of Peace chaired by Donald Trump. The founding charter gives Trump the right to decide membership, schedule meetings and votes, and the final say on board decisions. The board is described as promoting stability, restoring lawful governance, and securing enduring peace in conflict-affected areas, with Gaza as the initial priority. Countries can join free for three years; permanent membership is guaranteed if they pay $1 billion in the first year, with funds earmarked for Gaza reconstruction. The project starts after approval by three states. Gaza Health Ministry reports 464 killed since the October truce.
