Summary
President Donald Trump launched a new group called the "Board of Peace" to support a ceasefire in the conflict between Israel and Hamas. The Board aims to act like, and even surpass, the United Nations in managing global peace efforts, though it faces challenges due to a lack of enforcement power and skepticism from U.S. allies.
