Palestinian officials are sounding alarms over former U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed 'Board of Peace,' which some fear could undermine global diplomacy efforts in 2026. The initiative, launched last month during the World Economic Forum in Davos, aims to position itself as an alternative to the UN – but not everyone is buying the vision. 🕊️
Fatah's Sabri Saidam told reporters this week: 'We see exclusion, not solutions. This board risks erasing Palestinian rights while promoting displacement under the guise of peace.' The criticism comes as tensions persist in the Gaza Strip, where residents continue rebuilding after recent conflicts.
Palestinian Deputy Foreign Minister Omar Awadallah emphasized the need to strengthen existing international institutions, stating: 'New councils shouldn’t replace legitimate frameworks. Our focus remains on achieving statehood through security and stability.' 🌐
While Trump’s team pushes forward with the initiative, several major global powers have notably declined to join – raising questions about its potential impact. As digital natives scroll through this latest geopolitical development, many are left wondering: Is this a fresh approach to peace or a diplomatic sidestep? 💬
