In short:
US President Donald Trump has asked Australia and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to join his “Board of Peace” that would aim to progress the Gaza ceasefire agreement.
Dozens of countries and leaders have been invited, according to a list first reported by Bloomberg.
What’s next?
If Australia joins, it will be a member for at least three years and would need to pay $US1 billion to remain on the Board of Peace beyond that.
Honestly wtf do we have to do with Israel and Palestine? We’re on the other side of the world and not involved in their politics at all, beyond as being a US/British ally. We had a minor terrorist shooting? It’s none of our business without Trump involved, and absolutely none with the way he’s planned it (each country pays a billion into a fund that Trump alone controls. Lolwhat).
The ‘Board of Peace’ just seems like a new ‘how do we make money for businesses rebuilding the Gaza strip to the whims of the Israelis’ Iraq-rebuild style plan, with a side-hustle of Trump skimming for himself to build new Trump Gaza Towers.
