Former President Donald Trump’s administration is proposing that nations pay a $1 billion fee to secure a permanent seat on the newly formed “Board of Peace,” according to a draft charter obtained by Bloomberg. The board was established under UN endorsement to oversee the Israel-Hamas ceasefire and lead Gaza’s reconstruction.
Major Points:
$1 Billion for Permanent Membership: Countries can join initially without cost, but a $1 billion cash contribution within the first year grants a permanent seat on the board.
Trump as Inaugural Chairman: Trump would serve as chairman with final approval power over board decisions and member invitations.
Gaza Reconstruction Focus: Funds raised are intended to “rebuild all of Gaza” with minimal administrative overhead, according to a U.S. official.
High-Profile Appointees: The executive board includes Jared Kushner, Tony Blair, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and business leaders like Apollo CEO Marc Rowan.
Growing List of Invited Nations: Countries such as Canada, Argentina, India, Turkey, Egypt, and others have reportedly been invited to join.
