DAVOS: Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan, signed the charter for US President Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace” on Thursday. The decision to participate demonstrated the Kingdom’s support for efforts to bring long-term peace to Gaza, he said.
Saudi Arabia was one of eight Arab and Islamic countries that stated on Wednesday that they will join the initiative to stabilize and rehabilitate the war-torn Palestinian territories. Prince Faisal signed the contract during a ceremony at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where Trump unveiled the charter in front of a number of other founding nations, including Turkey and Qatar.
The Saudi Foreign Ministry stated that the signing of the treaty demonstrated the Kingdom’s “commitment to supporting the mission of the Board of Peace as a transitional administration to end the conflict in the Gaza Strip, as adopted by United Nations Security Council Resolution 2803.”
The move also underlined Saudi Arabia’s support for Gaza rehabilitation and a push for long-term peace, while also welcoming Trump’s peace efforts, according to the ministry. In September, the US president helped broker a peace accord that effectively ended Israel’s two-year war on Gaza, which destroyed the area and killed over 70,000 Palestinians.
