EU Critics Say Trump’s Gaza Board Bypasses UN, Skews Munich Talks

At the Munich Security Conference, EU leaders condemned Trump’s Gaza ‘Board of Peace’ as bypassing the UN mandate, arguing it omits Gaza, a time limit, Palestinian participation, and UN reference. Spain and other European officials voiced concern over excluding Europe from the plan, while US critics questioned its substance ahead of a February meeting and a multi‑billion reconstruction package that could include a stabilisation force, with Indonesia signaling possible troop deployment as fighting and ceasefire violations continue.
