Trump Pushes Gaza 'Board of Peace' at Davos Amidst Allied Pushback

  • US President Donald Trump plans to sign the Gaza 'Board of Peace' at the World Economic Forum in Davos on January 22.
  • The White House aims to finalize the committee's constitution, but European allies seek to rewrite terms for a coordinated response.
  • French President Emmanuel Macron will not join; Canadian PM Mark Carney is open in principle but unwilling to pay for permanent membership.
  • Leaders like PM Modi and PM Sharif were invited, but willingness to sign is unclear, especially with a $1 billion permanent seat fee.
  • Israel supports the board in principle but objects to a Gaza committee under it, citing uncoordinated composition with Qatar and Turkey included.

Why It Matters: Trump is pushing a Gaza 'Board of Peace' at Davos, facing resistance from allies and concerns over its intent.
