Trump kicks off his 'Board of Peace,' with eye on Gaza

U.S. President Donald Trump will preside over the ​first meeting of his Board of Peace on Thursday with unresolved questions on the future of Gaza hanging over an event expected to include representatives from more than 45 nations. Trump's Board of Peace has been controversial. It includes Israel but not Palestinian representatives ​and Trump's suggestion that the Board could eventually address challenges beyond Gaza has stirred anxiety that it could undermine ‌the U.N.'s role as the main platform for global diplomacy and conflict resolution.
