Revealed: Trump’s Board of Peace plots 'sweeping immunity' for members

Key Points:

• President Donald Trump's "Board of Peace" initiative, originally aimed at facilitating a Gaza peace deal and reconstruction, has been revealed as a plan to grant its member states extensive legal immunity, protecting them from arrest, detention, or legal proceedings in Gaza.
• The Board evolved into a broader international peacekeeping organization, with Trump set to remain chairman post-presidency; critics worry it could serve as an alternative to the United Nations, especially since many member states are authoritarian regimes, while key U.S. democratic allies declined to join.
• A "sensitive but unclassified" resolution obtained by The Guardian outlines sweeping immunity for Board members, Palestinian technocrats, international military forces, and contractors, including rights to acquire property in Gaza free of charge, though the full scope of immunity remains unclear.
• Legal experts expressed concern that if enacted, the resolution could leave Board officials and affiliates unaccountable for incidents affecting Gaza residents, with no clear mechanisms for resolving disputes or prosecuting misconduct.
• The Board of Peace dismissed these concerns, denying the existence of any operative immunity framework and labeling suggestions of lawlessness or impunity as misleading.
