Trump ‘to ask countries in Gaza Board of Peace to pay $1bn to keep membership’
Members ‘must spend $1B’ to stay on Trump’s Board of Peace
- Countries wishing to remain on Donald Trump's 'Board of Peace' for Gaza for more than three years will need to contribute $1 billion within the first year, according to reports.
- A draft document indicates that Donald Trump would serve as the board's chairman, controlling funds, approving all decisions, and designating his successor.
- The board's stated aim is to “promote stability, restore dependable and lawful governance, and secure enduring peace in areas affected or threatened by conflict”.
- Sir Tony Blair, Marco Rubio, and Jared Kushner have been announced as initial members of the board, alongside other figures.
- Sir Tony Blair's inclusion has been noted as potentially controversial due to his past role in the 2003 invasion of Iraq and perceived closeness to Israel.
