Trump’s Gaza peace board charter seeks $1 billion for extended membership, document shows
A draft charter sent to about 60 countries by the U.S. administration calls for members to contribute $1 billion in cash if they want their membership in Gaza’s Board of Peace to last more than three years, according to a document seen by the Reuters news agency.
“Each Member State shall serve a term of no more than three years from this Charter’s entry into force, subject to renewal by the Chairman,” the document, first reported by Bloomberg News, shows.
“The three-year membership term shall not apply to Member States that contribute more than USD $1,000,000,000 in cash funds to the Board of Peace within the first year of the Charter’s entry into force.”
The board is set to supervise the temporary governance of Gaza, which has been under a shaky ceasefire since October.
