The Trump 'Board of Peace' Unveiled as a Shadowy Imperial Court
A bizarre twist has emerged from the UN Security Council's vote to endorse the "board of peace" in November, with Donald Trump's administration now touting it as a global version of his Mar-a-Lago court. The initial intention behind the resolution 2803 was to broker a ceasefire in Gaza, but what has actually been crafted is an opaque entity that bears little resemblance to the body envisioned by its backers.
The board's 'charter' appears to be more suited to Trump's own ego and interests than to genuine international cooperation. By naming no specific "failed institutions" beyond the UN itself, it becomes clear that this new entity is being pitched as a rival to the established global governance framework. The document's language on non-aggression, self-determination, and human rights has been curiously absent, replaced instead with an emphasis on pragmatic results and Trump's own personal vision for world order.
At its core, the board of peace appears to be a plutocratic club where members are chosen by Trump himself, with those who fail to win his favor facing exile or termination. Those seeking membership will have to fork over a staggering $1 billion in "cash funds" for a life membership, creating an inequitable system that privileges wealth and influence above all else.
This new entity is now poised to oversee the administration of Gaza, which was supposed to be at the heart of the ceasefire negotiations. However, it's clear that Trump's own interests in the region are driving this agenda forward. A Gaza executive board will oversee key aspects of the territory's governance, but with Palestinians themselves relegated to a peripheral role. In contrast, US billionaires such as Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will be front-and-center to the decision-making process.
Make no mistake: this 'board of peace' is an imperial court masquerading as a humanitarian endeavour. Its establishment serves as a thinly veiled attempt by Trump to dismantle the UN's authority and establish his own brand of global governance, where vassal states bow to his whims in exchange for largesse. The fact that other nations are being encouraged to join this project only underscores its questionable legitimacy β after all, refusal to participate is met with tariffs from a petty president.
The most likely fate of the board of peace remains a shadowy, self-serving entity that fails to deliver on its promises while perpetuating the status quo of inequality and injustice.
