European Nations Divided Over Participation in Trump's 'Board of Peace'
President Donald Trump launched the 'Board of Peace' initiative at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on January 17, 2026. The board aims to oversee the reconstruction of Gaza and address broader global conflicts, expanding its mandate beyond the Israel-Hamas conflict. The initiative has received mixed reactions internationally, with some European countries and key U.S. allies declining to participate, while others have expressed cautious consideration.
The proposal has also raised concerns about its implications for the United Nations' role in global conflict resolution. Overall, nations remain divided on joining the Board of Peace, reflecting varied levels of support and skepticism.
