The elections had been held “at a highly sensitive moment amid complex challenges and exceptional circumstances”, Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Mustafa said as results were announced on Sunday.

While some traditional allies of the U.S. have responded cautiously, and in a few cases have rejected Trump’s offer, others including nations that have long had strained ties with Washington such as Belarus have accepted.

The post What is Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ and who has joined so far? first appeared on Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association.

Roughly a dozen Palestinians received official invitations on Tuesday to serve on the technocratic committee slated to manage Gaza’s daily affairs in place of Hamas, an Arab diplomat and a Palestinian official told The Times of Israel.

The letters were signed by the Board of Peace’s designated high representative, Nikolay Mladenov, two of the technocrats who received the letters said.

Mladenov, a Bulgarian diplomat who previously served as the UN special envoy to the Middle East, will be tasked with directly overseeing the technocratic committee on behalf of the Board of Peace. He held meetings last week with senior officials in Israel and the Palestinian Authority in preparation for the transition to phase two of US President Donald Trump’s peace plan for the Gaza Strip, which could be announced as early as Wednesday, the Arab diplomat said.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Pakistan’s most powerful military chief in decades faces the toughest test of his newly amassed powers as Washington pushes Islamabad to contribute troops to the Gaza stabilization force, a move analysts say could spark domestic backlash.

Field Marshal Asim Munir is expected to fly to Washington to meet US President Donald Trump in the coming weeks for a third meeting in six months that will likely focus on the Gaza force, two sources told Reuters, one of them a key player in the general’s economic diplomacy.

Trump’s 20-point Gaza plan calls for an international force to oversee a transition period for reconstruction and economic recovery in the war-torn Palestinian territory, decimated by over two years of war.

An Israeli reservist soldier was killed in an attack carried out by Palestinian terror operatives against troops stationed in the Rafah area of the southern Gaza Strip on Tuesday, the military announced Wednesday morning.

The attack took place during a ceasefire that began several weeks ago.

The Israel Defense Forces launched “a series of significant strikes” in response, saying it targeted dozens of terror targets and operatives, including commanders in Hamas and other terror groups. Gaza health authorities reported more than 100 dead in the strikes.

The whole media is out to get Trump. The news organizations are beside themselves, but he’s smiling the whole time. It’s about to get real, all the scoundrels who thought they’d get Trump one way or another are going down, most of them anyway. All the lawsuits, all the criminal investigations, where are they now? These men thought they’d never be out of power, I guess, and they’d never have to pay the price for their deeds. They’re not sleeping well.

Trump is hiking tariffs on many foreign countries who have been taking advantage of the U. S. It’s not like they’re not still trying, but Trump holds them to account. Fair is fair, and the other countries have been taking advantage of the U. S. for too long. They can cry their eyes out, but they can’t stand up to what the President is doing and saying. He has a team who knows what they’re doing

and time is short. 

He’s got emissaries carrying his message to all parts of the world. The United States is through being taken advantage of, and now you can bet they are going to pay. 

Nearly everyday there’s another drug boat being blown out of the water. It’s going to get hard to recruit people to guide them, with all their compatriots at the bottom of the sea. 

Trump is heading overseas to meet the new Prime Minister of Japan. It’s a woman, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, the first female ever to lead Japan. Then he’s heading to South Korea to meet with Xi. Wouldn’t you love to be a fly on the wall.

Israel, now that’s another story. Their government voted to annex the West Bank, but that’s not going to happen. Israel’s ruling party didn’t vote, in fact wasn’t even there. It’s a very different situation in Israel. Who can understand it? My Dad told me something interesting about Israel, and I think it still holds true. They have to have an outside enemy to fight, otherwise it’s pure chaos. 

I wish my Granddad could be here. I wonder what he’d be saying now. Thankfully, we’re in America during one of the greatest revivals we’ve ever seen. Sometimes God has other plans.

Footage shared by the Israeli Foreign Ministry from inside the Strip shows suspected Hamas gunmen drag a man across the street as he yells before they start savagely kicking him.

One of the gunmen then aims his rifle at the already-badly beaten man and shoots him in the leg and torso, all to the horror of a second dissident who breaks down crying as the gunshots continue to ring out.
