German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni have expressed openness to joining United States President Donald Trump's proposed Board of Peace, intended to address the situation in Gaza, but both leaders raised constitutional concerns with the current structure of the initiative. Merz emphasized that Germany cannot accept the board as it stands, citing governance issues, while Meloni noted that Italy is interested in the proposal but requires changes to align with Italian law. Spain, meanwhile, has declined to participate, citing its commitment to multilateralism and the exclusion of the Palestinian Authority from the board. The Board of Peace, recently inaugurated at the World Economic Forum, has drawn mixed reactions from European leaders, with some suggesting collaboration if its focus is limited to Gaza and aligned with United Nations resolutions.
