Europe Pulls Back From Trump’s Proposed “Board of Peace”. European leaders initially welcomed Donald Trump’s announcement of a new Middle East peace framework, but enthusiasm is quickly fading. At the heart of the plan is Trump’s proposed “Board of Peace,” designed to oversee post-war governance in Gaza. As details have emerged, concerns have grown across Europe.. Critics point out that the board’s charter barely mentions Gaza and instead gives it sweeping authority to address global conflicts, raising fears it could become a rival to the United Nations - According to Politico. Alarm has also been triggered by the invitation of Russian President Vladimir Putin, along with a reported requirement that permanent members contribute at least one billion dollars to participate. Several key allies, including France, the Netherlands, and potentially Italy and the UK, are now stepping back or reconsidering. Poland and Ukraine have also expressed serious reservations. While Europe hesitates, dozens of countries from the Middle East, Asia, and Eastern Europe have signed on — leaving Trump pushing ahead, even as traditional allies grow increasingly uneasy.
