Sir Keir Starmer has stopped short of endorsing Donald Trump's proposed 'Board of Peace', an international group intended to oversee the redevelopment of Gaza as part of a wider Middle East peace plan. At a press conference, the Prime Minister said Britain was in discussions with allies about the terms of joining, but did not commit to signing up, citing concerns over the one billion dollar membership fee and the group's legal framework. The draft charter for the Board of Peace would give the US President significant control over membership and direction, prompting worries among British ministers that it could rival the United Nations. News that Russian President Vladimir Putin has been invited to join has added to the controversy surrounding the initiative.
