Italy’s Opposition Rejects Participation in Board of Peace Meeting

Italy’s opposition criticized the government’s decision to attend the inaugural meeting of Trump’s Board of Peace, claiming it undermines the UN and international law. The board, set to meet in Washington with over 20 countries for Gaza reconstruction discussions, has raised concerns about becoming a UN rival. Prime Minister Meloni, who supports Trump, opted for observer status, citing Italy’s desire to engage in peace efforts despite constitutional incompatibilities. Foreign Minister Tajani defended the choice, stating no viable alternatives to the plan exist.
