Belarus partakes Gaza’s "Board of Peace"
(MENAFN) Belarus has formally become a member of the "Board of Peace," an international initiative proposed by US President Donald Trump to manage conflicts, beginning with the situation in Gaza.
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko signed the official document in accordance with the invitation procedure. "I have signed the appropriate appeal to the US, stating that we are ready to accept their offer and become founders of this council," he said during a press briefing in Minsk.
Regarding Belarus’ potential role on the board, Lukashenko acknowledged the limitations of his country’s influence. "What can we do there, helping Gaza too much? If we help, it won't be much. But I'm attracted by the idea that maybe this Board of Peace, its actions and possibilities, will expand to other parts of the planet," he explained.
He also expressed hope that Belarus’ participation could allow it to play a constructive role in the peace process concerning Ukraine. "First of all, perhaps we can help with Ukraine somehow, discuss and advance peace, influence the Ukrainian leadership. That's what's attracting me the most. Not that we're going to help Gazans so much. I know my capabilities and those of our Belarus. I'm looking ahead," Lukashenko added.
Lukashenko noted that founding members will participate free of charge for the first three years, after which continued involvement will depend on contributions to peace initiatives. "I'm counting on the latter," he said.
Belarusian officials confirmed that Minsk received a personal invitation from Trump for Lukashenko to join the board. A formal document, addressed to the US Secretary of State, stated: "I also have the honor to inform the Government of the United States of America, in its capacity as depositary of the Charter, that the Republic of Belarus hereby accepts the Charter of the Board of Peace as of the date of this letter, which constitutes the official notification of the Republic of Belarus of its consent to be bound by the Statute." The acceptance is effective immediately.
The creation of the Board of Peace was announced by the White House alongside the approval of the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, one of four entities tasked with managing the transitional phase in the enclave.
