Trump's Board of Peace: $1 Billion Entry Fee for Global Influence

• Donald Trump's proposed 'Board of Peace' is expanding beyond the Middle East, with at least eight more countries invited.
• Permanent membership requires a $1 billion contribution, which replaces a standard three-year term without financial obligation; funds are earmarked for Gaza's rebuilding.
• Hungary and Vietnam have accepted invitations; India, Australia, Jordan, Greece, Cyprus, and Pakistan have also received invites.
• The board's immediate task is to oversee the Gaza ceasefire, including establishing a Palestinian committee, deploying an international security force, and disarming Hamas.
• The initiative, described as a "bold new approach to resolving global conflict," raises questions about its potential to rival existing institutions like the UN Security Council.

Why It Matters: Trump's Board of Peace, with its $1 billion entry fee, aims to reshape global conflict resolution starting with Gaza.
