On Thursday, U.S. President Donald Trump signed the founding charter of the Peace Board in Davos, Switzerland. With this, Trump's Board of Peace, designed to resolve conflicts, was officially launched.
During the launch, Trump stated that the initial aim is to fortify the ceasefire in Gaza. A total of 22 countries signed this charter during the ceremony.
Countries that signed the Gaza Peace Board include the United States, Bahrain, Morocco, Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bulgaria, Egypt, Hungary, Indonesia, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Mongolia, Pakistan, Paraguay, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, and Uzbekistan.
