Key Points:
- Over 10 countries have agreed to join President Trump's proposed "Board of Peace" for Gaza, with only five—United Arab Emirates, Belarus, Morocco, Hungary, and Canada—publicly confirming participation so far.
- Countries can become permanent members by contributing $1 billion, though some may contribute as little as $20 million; Canada has declined to pay for membership.
- Funds raised for the board will be used exclusively for its Gaza mandate, with separate fundraising efforts planned for Gaza's reconstruction.
- President Trump aims to announce the board at the World Economic Forum in Davos and is considering expanding its scope beyond Gaza, potentially positioning it as a rival to the United Nations.
- The initiative faces challenges from U.S. allies
