France rejects Trump Gaza peace board invite over fears it wants to supplant UN
Trump’s Gaza “Board of Peace” is facing confusion and controversy on several fronts.

PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron has rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s offer to join the “Board of Peace” tasked with overseeing the next steps in Gaza, his office said on Monday.

The decision was taken over concerns that the “Board of Peace,” chaired by Trump, would have extensive powers beyond transitional governance of the Gaza Strip, and undermine the United Nations framework.

The statement noted that the board’s charter “goes beyond the framework of Gaza and raises serious questions, in particular with respect to the principles and structure of the United Nations, which cannot be called into question.”

The French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot specifically noted on Monday the remit of the board’s charter “in Gaza and elsewhere” and the “very extensive powers” granted to the chairman as point of concerns. According to Barrot, Trump, as the board’s chairman, would be able to approve the participation of members, choose his own successor and veto decisions taken by a majority of members.

2. The billion $ buy in is a clue this is just another grift & Israel has already rejected anything like equal Muslim.....

...representation. As soon as Trump put up Erdogan's name, it was doomed. He can maybe get a bunch of tech execs and real estate developers who want to look relevant in a new sphere and kiss T's ass at the same time and who have a spare $ billion to toss overboard. Maybe they can just turn all of Gaza into a giant data center and house all the Palestinians inside.

5. France probably the only country in Europe other than Germany that could even afford it

If Meloni handed a billion dollars to Trump she'd end up in the Milan gas station ahem.

6. Tired of MSM characterizing opposition as "fear."

I'm not opposed to this shit because I'm afraid.

I'm opposed because racist criminal cowards have the reigns of power.

I'm pissed, and I want to protect my loved ones.

That's not fear. That's being alert to threat.

Vigilance, clarity, survival.

7. They should reject it because

it was proposed by a child rapist.
