The Board of Peace,
a framework establishing an international body tasked with overseeing the Gaza
ceasefire, is currently fully focused on the situation in Gaza but remains
ready to resolve other global issues, the US Permanent Representative to the
United Nations, Michael Waltz, said on Friday.
Trump signed the
Board of Peace Charter during a meeting in January on the sidelines of the
World Economic Forum in Davos, describing the initiative as a platform aimed at
advancing peace and preventing future conflicts. He said dozens of world
leaders had been invited to join the body, which he characterized as capable of
addressing issues beyond the Gaza truce.
Speaking from New
York, Waltz stated that the US President Donald Trump’s administration is
“returning the world from the brink” compared to 18 months ago, referencing
conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, tensions with Iran, Houthi attacks in the Red
Sea, and migration pressures in South America.
He said that Washington
seeks to support the global order, as it has done since the end of World War
II, underscoring the United States’ commitment to multilateral institutions and
international stability. The Trump administration wants to push the United
Nations “back to basics,” as President Trump would “do for the UN what he’s
done for NATO,” Waltz added.
