US President Donald Trump has launched the Board of Peace at Davos, aiming to strengthen the ceasefire in Gaza and potentially expand its global role. The initiative, endorsed by a United Nations Security Council resolution, has attracted commitments from 35 countries, including Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, and Israel, though major global powers such as Russia, France, and Britain have not yet joined. Trump emphasized that the board will operate in conjunction with the United Nations, but some world leaders have expressed concerns that it could challenge the UN's central role in international diplomacy. The board requires a substantial financial commitment from permanent members, and its future influence remains uncertain as key nations consider their participation. The signing ceremony took place during the World Economic Forum in Davos, highlighting the board's ambition to address broader global challenges beyond the Gaza truce.
