A draft charter circulated to invited states lays out a Board of Peace chaired by Trump, including veto powers and rules for permanent membership
Tomorrow in Davos, Switzerland – on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum – Donald Trump’s administration is set to stage a signing ceremony for the charter of a so-called “Board of Peace,” an initiative marketed as a mechanism to rebuild Gaza but increasingly resembling an overt attempt to construct a parallel U.N. architecture under direct U.S. control.
The international response has been anything but unified. France has flatly refused to participate; Russia is demanding clarifications and guarantees of equal status; China has reiterated its commitment to a U.N.-centered order; and most European capitals are hedging, waiting to see which way the wind blows.
A chairman-for-life – and a billion-dollar buy-in
Draft charter language obtained by major media outlets points to an unprecedented concentration of authority in Trump’s hands. The U.S. president is named the “first chairman of the Board of Peace” with sweeping powers:
- He decides unilaterally which states may join.
- He holds veto power over any decision.
- He appoints his successor.
- He remains chairman even after leaving office as U.S. president.

Removing Trump is possible only through a “unanimous vote of the executive board” –a threshold so high it amounts to an almost impossible safeguard.
But the central scandal is the naked commercialization. States can secure permanent membership by paying “more than $1 billion” in the first year – money that, under the proposed structure, sits under the chairman’s effective control.
“Trump is trying to turn it into a pay-to-play alternative to the UN Security Council, but where Trump alone exercises veto power,” – Paul Williams, a professor at George Washington University.
Kushner, Blair – and the corporate takeover of Gaza
The executive board features some of the most controversial names imaginable: Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, who has described Gaza as “valuable waterfront property” and floated the idea of “moving people out and then cleaning it up”; and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, widely seen as one of the key architects of the 2003 Iraq war. Alongside this, an 11-member governance council for Gaza has been established – reportedly including, among others, representatives of Turkey and Qatar.
That lineup triggered a sharp reaction from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who declared: “There will be no Turkish or Qatari soldiers in Gaza.” Yet by January 21 – under Washington’s pressure – Netanyahu announced he would join the “Board of Peace” anyway, a telling capitulation by even America’s closest Middle East ally.

Lavrov: “A strange document, but Trump’s team are pragmatists”
On January 20, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov confirmed that Moscow received the draft charter and offered a measured assessment. “The Trump administration – despite everything that is happening – is an administration of pragmatists. It understands the need not merely to assemble a large number of countries under its command, but to fully take into account their legitimate interests,” Lavrov said.
Lavrov warns the charter reads less like a Gaza plan – and more like a blueprint for a U.S. – run alternative to multilateral diplomacy
At the same time, he did not conceal his concerns about the document’s design. “We received a strange document called the ‘charter’ of a ‘Board of Peace,’ initially intended for settlement in the Palestinian Gaza Strip. This ‘council’ is supposed to deal not only with matters related to Gaza – which I believe is not even mentioned in the document at all – but with the resolution of conflicts worldwide,” he noted.
Moscow is demanding revisions: “The absolute dominance of the Americans built into the “Board of Peace” will be adjusted toward more equal positions.” The Kremlin says it is studying the details and will insist on clarifications “on every nuance.”
France says “no,” China defends the U.N.
Paris became the first major Western power to openly reject participation in the “Board of Peace.” France’s Foreign Ministry underscored its continued commitment to the United Nations, calling it the cornerstone of effective multilateral cooperation – where international law, sovereign equality, and peaceful dispute resolution should prevail over arbitrariness.
Trump’s response was characteristically aggressive: he threatened a 200% tariff on French wines and champagne. The next day, the U.S. president described Macron as “a nice guy who won’t be in power for long.”

China offered an even more principled rebuttal. On January 21, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson stressed support for an international system with the U.N. “at its center,” regardless of any “changes” – a direct response to Trump’s claim that the “Board of Peace” could replace the United Nations.
Belarus, Kazakhstan, and “Eurasian solidarity”
Unlike the European wobble, several post-Soviet states signaled readiness to participate. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko signed a participation document on January 19.

Kazakhstan’s head of state Kassym-Jomart Tokayev is expected in Davos tomorrow for the signing ceremony. Uzbekistan has also confirmed its involvement.
In addition, the UAE, Israel, Hungary, Argentina, Azerbaijan, and Morocco have joined. Still, out of the 50–60 states invited, fewer than about ten have formally confirmed participation – so far.
From Gaza to global dominance: Ukraine and Venezuela next
The “Board of Peace” is rapidly expanding its mandate far beyond Gaza. Trump’s team is already discussing applying the mechanism to Ukraine and Venezuela.
Gaza remains the political “entry point” for Trump’s Board of Peace concept – though the draft mandate is now framed far beyond the enclave
A senior Ukrainian official told the Financial Times that the “Board of Peace” is viewed as “an important potential element of talks with Russia,” potentially used to monitor implementation of a 20-point peace plan.
On Venezuela – where the U.S. conducted a military operation on January 3 and captured President Nicolás Maduro – American diplomats have also floated expanding the council’s remit. Lavrov described U.S. actions as “smashing the world around.”
Colonialism, 21st-century edition
Experts increasingly describe the “Board of Peace” as a revival of the early-20th-century League of Nations mandate system. “Placing Gaza under a transitional governance system suspends Palestinian political agency at one of the most consequential moments in their modern history,” wrote an analyst at Al-Shabaka.
International law scholar Eliav Lieblich of Tel Aviv University was blunt: “The charter is clearly designed as a challenge to the U.N. and reflects distrust of the organization.”
Maya Ungar of the International Crisis Group warned that constructive dialogue is unlikely inside an institution built around a rigid power structure that excludes many other great powers from the system.
Davos will reveal the true scale of the flop
The signing ceremony is scheduled for tomorrow, January 22, at 10:30 local time. But Bloomberg has already reported that “Trump’s dream of a grand signing ceremony is melting as fast as the snow on the Swiss resort.”
Of the 50–60 invited countries, fewer than ten have formally signed on. France has refused; Germany is wavering; Russia and China are demanding clarifications. Trump may arrive with a record 300-person delegation, but the international backing for his initiative looks strikingly thin.
The “Board of Peace” is shaping up less as a new era of global governance than as a marker of America’s waning ability to impose its architecture on the world – when even close allies hesitate to rubber-stamp Washington’s claims to global leadership. The future, increasingly, belongs to genuine multipolarity – not a single chairman with veto power and a billion-dollar admission ticket.

uloga iranskih mudžahedina iz albanije u protestima u iranu, dojče vele analizira ko su oni i koliko važna je bila njihova uloga
slušaj vest
08:01
oko 3.000 članova opozicione organizacije narodnih mudžahedina irana (mek) sklonilo se u albaniju, a pojavile su se tvrdnje da je mek imao važnu ulogu u protestima u iranu.
dojče vele u opširnoj analizi navodi da se neki poznavaoci prilika s tim se, međutim, ne slažu.
utvrđeni kamp u manzeu, malom selu u centralnoj albaniji u blizini glavnog grada tirane, dom je za oko 3.000 članova organizacije narodnih mudžahedina irana (pmoi ili mujahideen-e khalq, mek).

oni su u albaniji od 2013. godine, kada je vlada u tirani pristala da ih primi na zahtev sad i ujedinjenih nacija.
šta je mek?
pmoi ili mek je islamska politička opoziciona grupa sa socijalističkim tendencijama.

osnovana u iranu 1965. godine, krenula je u oružanu borbu protiv vladajuće dinastije pahlavi, organizujući bombaške napade protiv šahove vlade i američkih ciljeva tokom 1970-ih, te podržavajući ajatolaha homeinija u islamskoj revoluciji 1978-79.
ali mek se ubrzo nakon revolucije razišao s novim vlastima u teheranu i bio je zabranjen u zemlji.
nakon toga je organizacija premeštena u inostranstvo, nastavljajući svoje opozicione aktivnosti iz egzila.

mek se kasnije preselio u irak, odakle je tokom iransko-iračkog rata vodio vojne operacije protiv irana – nešto što im mnogi u iranu do danas zameraju.
američko ministarstvo spoljnih poslova proglasilo je mek terorističkom organizacijom 1997. godine, ali ga je 2012. uklonilo sa spiska.

ta organizacija je prva 2002. godine objavila da iran ima tajni program obogaćivanja uranijuma.
nakon svrgavanja sadama huseina proterana je iz iraka.
nedavni protesti u iranu
za andreasa kriga, stručnjaka za bliski istok i višeg predavača na školi bezbednosnih studija na kraljevskom koledžu u londonu, aktuelni talas protesta u iranu „izgleda manje kao jedinstveni ’događaj’, a više kao postupno spajanje dugotrajnih nezadovoljstava koja su se konačno sinhronizovala“.
„počelo je s akutnim ekonomskim šokom – kolapsom valute i inflacijom koja se pretvorila u trenutne skokove cena, nestašice i paralizu trgovine – a zatim se situacija brzo politizovala kada su ljudi zaključili da država ili ne može ili ne želi da stabilizuje svakodnevni život“, objašnjava krig za dw.

protesti u iranu „ono što je posebno jeste profil koalicije: bazari i trgovci pomogli su da se stvori zamah, studenti i urbana naselja održavali su vidljivost, a periferni gradovi i manjinska područja dali su širinu. odgovor države brzo se iz odvraćanja pretvorio u represiju, uključujući i blokadu komunikacija na nacionalnom nivou s ciljem usporavanja koordinacije i smanjenja nadzora spolja, što se obično poklapa s oštrijom primenom sile na terenu“, dodaje.
fragmentirana opozicija
uprkos činjenici da je u iranu u poslednjim decenijama bilo mnogo protesta na nacionalnom nivou, iranska opozicija – i u zemlji i u inostranstvu – nije organizovana i karakterišu veliki broj suprotstavljenih grupacija i ideoloških frakcija.

krig objašnjava:
„unutar irana kolektivno delovanje uglavnom je bez vođa i umreženo je: mobilizacija je lokalna, važne su društvene veze, dinamika na radnim mestima i univerzitetska povezanost, što sev proizvodi nalete koordinisanih protesta, ali bez integrisane nacionalne komandne strukture.“
iranska opozicija u inostranstvu
izvan irana dve najveće opozicione grupe su monarhisti i mek. vođe i članovi obe grupe žive u egzilu još od svrgavanja dinastije pahlavi 1979. godine.

reza pahlavi, naslednik poslednjeg iranskog šaha mohameda reze pahlavija, živi u sad. iako ima mnogo poklonika unutar iranske dijaspore, ostaje nejasno kakvu podršku ima u samom iranu.
„izvan irana dijaspora ostaje uticajna u oblikovanju narativa i morala, ali je organizaciono podeljena i često joj se ne veruje u zemlji, gde se ljudi boje i manipulacije i vakuuma nakon mogućeg kolapsa aktuelne vlasti“, ukazuje andreas krig.
koju je ulogu mek imao u protestima?
druga velika iranska opoziciona grupa je mek, najveći član nacionalnog saveta otpora irana (ncri), koalicije iranskih opozicionih grupa. ali, kakvu je ulogu mek imao u nedavnim nemirima?
ali safavi iz ncri tvrdi da je mek bio aktivno uključen u proteste.
„njegove ’jedinice otpora’ usmeravaju, koordiniraju i organizuju otpor protiv represivnih snaga“, kaže on za dw. „one su u mnogim igrale važnu ulogu i u zaštiti demonstranata od naleta irgc [korpusa islamske revolucionarne garde]. da nije bilo njih, režim bi vrlo brzo ugušio ustanak.“

safavi dodaje da je „značajan broj aktivista mek-a među 3.000 onih koje su ubile snage bezbednosti“.
mek – problemi s legitimitetom među mnogim irancima
kada je reč o mek-u, stručnjak za bliski istok krig kaže da je tu „važno razdvojiti očekivani domet, od stvarnog prisustva na terenu“.
„organizacija je disciplinovana, medijski vešta i sposobna da stvara buku, lobistički pritisak i veliku količinu poruka iz inostranstva. ona, međutim, ima ozbiljne probleme s legitimitetom među mnogim irancima zbog svoje istorije, optužbi za unutrašnju kontrolu i dugotrajnog egzila –
što su sve faktori koji ograničavaju njenu sposobnost da deluje kao ujedinjujuće opoziciono sredstvo u samoj zemlji. zato tvrdnje da ona funkcioniše kao strani ’trojanski konj’ nailaze na prihvatanje“, kaže krig i pritom procenjuje da mek „uopšte nema nikakvu ulogu u vođenju ovih protesta“.

mek sada poziva evropu da preduzme odlučne mere protiv iranske vlade. safavi iz ncri kaže: „evropa mora odmah da proglasi korpus islamske revolucionarne garde (irgc) za terorističku organizaciju, da protera režimske diplomate, povuče svoje ambasadore iz teherana, isključi režim iz međunarodnog finansijskog sistema, bojkotuje prodaju nafte i izvede njegove lidere pred međunarodne sudove kako bi im se sudilo za zločine protiv čovečnosti –
među njima vrhovnog vođu alija hameneija i druge visoke zvaničnike.
pogled iz albanije
što se tiče albanije, tamošnji mediji redovno izveštavaju o protestima i o mek-u, otkako su započele demonstracije u iranu.
a članovi mek-a u albaniji aktivni su na društvenim mrežama – dele objave i slike povezane s ljudima koji su na protestima izgubili živote, te s članovima mek-a za koje tvrde da su ubijeni tokom demonstracija.
čemu njima treba uranijum ako imaju dovoljno lopata i vila?
ako su vile bile dovoljne da ubiju juru francetića, kako ne bi bile dovoljne da ubiju irance.
this is an official announcement from the zio pirates to disband united nations. apparently those un treaties and mandates are inconvenient for israel.
all the worlds nations will have no say or discussion in world events that effect them or others
you’re just ridiculous. too ridiculous for words what are you trying to pretend that’s biblical prophecy now??? so lame .
israel is a sissy bitch that cannot handle any criticism. they need to call ghostbusters again
clearly the palestinians will be offered a position after the genocide is completed
grow up .duckhead
joo logic, and on course so far until iran jumps out of its box. 💩💩💩=🇮🇱
a youtuber made the following claim today.
quotation
trump’s plane broke today while en route to davos.
youtuber said:
the incident was an iranian assassination.
and after the plane broke down trump said to j.d vance , “if anything happens to me, wipe iran off the face of the earth.”
i don’t know if this claim is true, but it’s interesting.
as if what an idiot .
mega bombshell broadcast! to their tyrannical faces, trump tells globalists their new world order is dead & the rise of the nation state is unstoppable, urges people of world to join united states in 1776 2.0! tube in alice bones says ..
he’s got an audience and a business .
replace western liberal globalism with western illiberal fascism, that sounds great if you have shit for brains. majority of the world says “fuck off”
move your flipping buttons were not all msm right handed left brained dumbarses you know .some of us use the analytical side.
getting tired of russia praising this moron and his band of zionist brainrot crew. trumpstein is an amerikunt and amerikunts know nothing about the world outside their bubble
remember the zionist thief in palestine “if i dont steal this land, somebody else will”. that is the “thinking” of these 18 century savages
we will carve russia like a beef carcass…heheheh
so step to us if you’re ready. we’ll chop you with a motherfucking machete.
the un would work better for sure if the veto power of principally the us and israel was not used to allow the continuation of the palestinian genocide.great part of the world has understood that the un is incapable of bringing peace .trump’s “board of peace” is ridiculous since it is generated by the same that support and finance the massacre of palestinians so what credibility can it have??
don’t you get it ppl? we’re deep in wwiii, only atom bombs are not used (as not that we know, and as not as yet) just like in wwii nerve agents weren’t used, in the fear that the other side can use them as well.
two big explosions in yemen, one big in china, one big in lebanon, iceland volcano crisis, smoke from etna, smoke from a volcano in canarians, and eruption, geigers used, too compact stone even for excavators, many polar blasts, many heat waves, many strange earthquakes in adriatic sea, followed by bang and explosion, airbuses crashes, recall of mercedes cars, tsunamis, saint hellen. you go ahead and continue.
senile old men rape children… if only isis would come back and screw everyone with a rocket.
