Board of Peace Set to Hand Trump Sweeping Powers Over Gaza (Dear Godzilla make it stop!)

President Trump would have sweeping powers over the future governance of the war-ravaged Gaza Strip and the well-being of its people, under a plan drafted by the new international group he leads, laying out how it would operate.

The group, the Board of Peace, met for the first time in Davos, Switzerland, last week, as member states including Azerbaijan and Qatar, signed its founding charter, which calls for securing “enduring peace in areas affected or threatened by conflict.”

Much about the Board of Peace has so far been unclear, but a draft resolution, a copy of which was obtained by The Times, would allow the chairman, Mr. Trump, to nominate senior officials who will help administer Gaza, and assign responsibilities.

Those officials include a “high representative” for Gaza, tasked with overseeing a Palestinian body administering the enclave, and the commander of an international stabilization force, which is intended to help provide security. Mr. Trump would also have the power to approve resolutions and suspend them in urgent cases.

Under what authority? Says who?

I mean can any random group of people just decide they are in charge of another country's future?

It’s all BS. Trump will be long gone before any of those fantasy skyscrapers get built.

Get 1 billion dollar buy offs from each of these countries. They will receive something in return. It’s just another grift.
