France says no to Board of Peace. Who cares?

Former U.S. President Donald Trump proposed the creation of an international “Board of Peace” to oversee the reconstruction of Gaza and promote long-term regional stability. The proposal envisioned participation from multiple global and regional actors, including Middle Eastern states. While some European countries indicated they would not take part, several regional governments expressed interest. The idea sparked debate over whether a region-led framework could play a role in post-conflict governance and reconstruction.
