    1. What’s the actual incentive for anyone to pay this? I’d have thought most governments would pay to have nothing to do with the Israel-Palestine conflict.

    2. So. Hitler, Mussolini, PolPot, Stalin, Oinochet, etc., all could cough up one-thousand million bucks and all is forgiven.

      This is a level of Hell.

      Quote for words:

      And while the board was conceived as part of Mr. Trump’s plan to oversee Gaza, there is no mention of Gaza in the charter. That omission added to speculation that the group may have a broader mandate to cover other conflicts and could even be aimed at creating a U.S.-dominated alternative to the United Nations Security Council.

      >Mr. Trump, who is to chair the board, said in a post on Truth Social last week that it will be “the Greatest and Most Prestigious Board ever assembled at any time, any place,” though much about it remained unclear.

      >On Friday, the White House announced the board’s members would include Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Jared Kushner, Mr. Trump’s son-in-law, and Ajay Banga, the head of the World Bank.

      More possible shennanigans further on in the article. Remember that gaza-casino video?

    4. This is his basic real estate scam.

      “Gaza’s gonna be yuge! Resorts, beaches, the best restaurants, clubs, golf, it’s going to be amazing, we’re going to make billions! And for just 1 billion, you can be on the “Board of Peace”, that helps decide how to develop it (as long as it’s my way)!”

      But in reality, he might even realize it’s a fool’s errand. He’s playing up the project to get others to buy in, then he can skim off the top, half-ass the job, abandon it, and leave others holding the bill for its failure.

      He’s seriously done this dozens of times. Its a basic scam and it’s his bread and butter. He’s grifting as hard as he can and using the office of the presidency to do it.
