Phase Two of the Gaza Peace Plan, as originally envisioned by President Trump, featured a Board of Peace to oversee the transformation of the Gaza Strip into a strife-free entity. The architect of this plan has now expanded that concept to envelop the globe. Donald Trump’s current vision empowers his Board of Peace to become the worldwide enforcer of all things Trump, er, of all things peace
This smacks of one of the more grandiose ideas of the 21st century. The world’s current premier peace body, at least in concept, is the United Nations, but it has basically become a platform for anti-Israel, pro-Muslim tirades.
We can thank our lucky stars that the UN Security Council allows its member nations to have veto power. Otherwise, the world might become Greater Somalia.
Of course, if someone like Kamala Harris ever becomes president, the U.S. veto power will be rendered useless. We’d suddenly side with the anti-Israel crowd. Bye-bye, Western Civilization.
To join UN Deuxième, you must pony up $1 billion as an entrance fee, according to the Trump vision. He’s even sent out invitations to various prospective participants, who received a copy of a charter for the Board of Peace, which states in part:
“The Board of Peace is an international organization that seeks to promote stability, restore dependable and lawful governance, and secure enduring peace in areas affected or threatened by conflict.”
Now, this grandiose vision skips past the reality that even achieving peace in Gaza — where Hamas has refused to give up arms and Israel has refused to withdraw to its borders — looks formidable, if not downright impossible.
Trump, of course, envisions himself as chairman of this Board of Peace, guaranteeing him a lifetime tenure on the world stage. Watch out, those of you with Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). He ain’t going anywhere if he gets his way.
Very few, besides Trump himself, are buying into this vision. Middle Eastern leaders believe the Board of Peace should stick to Gaza. Of the 60 or so invitees to join the board, only Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban snapped into line and accepted at first blush. Orban, of course, is a staunch Trump ally.
French President Emmanuel Macron is probably cursing himself that he didn’t come up with this idea before Trump. “C’est la vie” in the era of Donald Trump.
