The Donald Trump “Board of Peace” idea is in trouble because it does not have any money in its fund. This is surprising because many countries said they would give billions of dollars to help.
The Board of Peace was made to help the Gaza Strip after the war between Israel and Hamas. The United States helped make a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas in October. The Board of Peace was created after that.
The fund for the Board of Peace is managed by the World Bank. Supported by the United Nations. No country has given any money to the fund since it was started in January. One person who knows about the fund said that no money has been deposited.
In addition to giving money to the official fund, some donations were put into a different account at JPMorgan. This account is associated with the Board of Peace. The problem is that this account does not have to follow the rules about being transparent. This is causing concerns about who’s in charge and how the money is being used.
The Donald Trump Board of Peace initiative is very important to Donald Trump. He said that the United States would give $10 billion to the Board of Peace. Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates also said they would give at least $1 billion each. To be a part of the Board of Peace, countries have to give $1 billion. Some big countries in Europe, like France and the United Kingdom, do not want to join the Board of Peace.
People are worried that the Board of Peace is closely tied to Donald Trump. They think that Donald Trump has much control over the Board of Peace even after he is not the president anymore. The European Union and the United Nations did a study in April. They said that it would take more than $71 billion to fix the damage in Gaza over the next ten years.
Even though there is a ceasefire agreement, there is still violence in Gaza. Israel and Hamas are still. Blaming each other for not following the agreement. The Donald Trump Board of Peace initiative is supposed to help with this problem. The Board of Peace is very important, for the Gaza Strip and the Donald Trump Board of Peace initiative is a part of it.
