Bel Trew: Donald Trump's 'Board of Peace' is an absurd and worrying spectacle
"Fears grow that charter may be so broad that it could be an attempt to usurp the United Nations We are going to have peace in the world, declared President Donald Trump, as he inaugurated his Gaza Board of Peace in Davos, Switzerland, flanked by representatives from a hodgepodge of 19 countries."
"A quick scan of the figures, sitting somewhat uncomfortably on stage, revealed a lot. Among them was Hungary's authoritarian leader Viktor Orban."
"Glaring absences included the US's traditional and most powerful European and Nato allies."
President Donald Trump inaugurated a Gaza Board of Peace in Davos, Switzerland, accompanied by representatives from 19 countries. The attendees included Hungary's leader Viktor Orban and other figures who appeared uncomfortable on stage. Several traditional US European and NATO allies were conspicuously absent. Observers expressed fears that the charter for the board could be so broad that it might attempt to usurp the United Nations. The inauguration showcased a fragmented coalition of states and raised questions about legitimacy, support among established allies, and the potential international implications of creating an alternative peace body.
