US President Donald Trump described the United Nations as a 'useless' organization during a press briefing at the White House on Tuesday. He said a newly proposed 'Peace Board', created to end the war in Gaza and oversee the region’s reconstruction, could serve as an alternative to the UN. When asked if the board would replace the UN, Trump replied that it might, adding that the UN is not very effective.

Trump announced that the 'Peace Board' would be composed of world leaders and that he would serve as its chairman indefinitely, even beyond his presidential term. The board will grant permanent membership to countries contributing one billion dollars. The United Arab Emirates and Bahrain have already confirmed their participation. Trump is also inviting leaders of major powers, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, to join.

The initiative aims to manage Gaza’s governance and rebuilding efforts following the conflict, positioning the board as a new global platform for peace oversight.
