The signing ceremony of the “Board of Peace” headed by United States President Donald Trump is currently underway.
The heads of various countries are taking turns to sign the board’s charter.
The body was initially envisioned as a mechanism to address Israel’s war on Gaza, though its charter does not restrict its mandate solely to the occupied Palestinian territory.Let me recognise the very first group of the distinguished members of the Board of Peace that will be introduced by name in just a moment,” the US president said.
“Each and every one of you, we are truly honoured by your presence today. Leaders of countries, in most cases very popular leaders, in some cases not so popular,” he said.
Among those seated in the audience is Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, after Pakistan accepted Trump’s invitation to join the Board of Peace.
During his speech, the US president also said that the Palestinian group Hamas must disarm or it would be the “end of them”.
