Trump’s Gaza peace board gets lukewarm response in Davos – POLITICO

by · POLITICO

DAVOS, Switzerland — Davos has played host to dozens of the world’s most powerful people this week — but most skipped U.S. President Donald Trump’s launch event for his Gaza peace board.

A handful of leaders signed up, gathering for a launch ceremony in Davos. Those included Argentina, Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan and Indonesia.

But the vast majority of countries skipped the signing and have not committed to joining the body, including most European countries, amid fears over the board’s composition, broad scope and billion-dollar buy-in for permanent membership.
