Bangkok reviews Trump’s Board of Peace as world remains cautious

14 Sept 04:51 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand's Foreign Ministry is reviewing Donald Trump's proposed 'Board of Peace' and Gaza conflict plan, stressing that any initiative must align with Palestinian aspirations and regional support for a two-state solution.
Most nations react cautiously to Trump's 'Board of Peace' invitation, with many expressing concerns that the US-led initiative could undermine the United Nations' established authority and role in global conflicts.
The proposed board's structure, featuring Trump as lifetime chair and a $1 billion fee for permanent membership, has drawn diplomatic scrutiny regarding its potential impact on existing international peace efforts.
Trump, a vocal critic of multilateral institutions, aims to launch this "unprecedented" board, with key US figures and former UK PM Tony Blair slated to join, reflecting his ambition for a Nobel Peace Prize.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
