Trump's golfing buddy, his son-in-law and Tony Blair, famous for keeping peace (not) are amongst the names announced for Trump's Board of Peace. No women amongst them.

Another hurdle is that it has been reported, that Israel does not approve of the selection.

Well I don’t think anyone can say they are thrilled by a board headed by Trump, members of his family, a golfing buddy, and Teflon Tony, but perhaps Bibi is just underwhelmed by the thought of peace, after all it is fighting the not so good fight that has kept him out of jail.

Allira 😂. Apparently if they want to have a permanent place on the panel, they need to give Trump a large amount of money. It's all grift to him

Hence the filthy rich!

It will be interesting to see what emerges from this con trick, Maremia.

How many Palestinians on the board?

The whole thing is a nonsense.

If you judge aman by thecompany hekeeps. Weren't Tony Blair and Peter Mandelson best mates at some time?

Well, they both seem to be intensely relaxed about people getting filthy rich so they're in good company.

There's no in between with Trump, is there? Everything is 'bigly' until it's 'nasty.'
Man's an overgrown toddler with poor vocabulary and no self awareness. On the other hand, maybe Tony Blair will find the weapons of mass destruction he went looking for. Aye, right.

Oh come on Grandmabatty!
He knows what he's doing, it's going to be beautiful, really nice, just a beautiful thing.

Larry Ellison is a great friend of both Trump and Blair. With the Institute benefiting greatly from LE donations.
Its all about the money with these people. angry

Is this board of peace Orwell’s 1984 speak. In which case Blair is well suited to it.

Quite hmm

TB looked like a petrified rabbit in the headlights

Never could say no to a crook called Potus. With luck he's about to pay the price.

I think that Tony Blair does know quite a bit about that part of the world so he may play a good part in this Peace Board whatever people think of him.He may want to redeem himself by being on it.I haven’t read as yet who else is on it apart from his son in law, Jared.

Can they say No ??
Strikes me as the largest poison chalice of all time.
If I were Tony Blair I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole.
Trump and Netanyahu have made a great big mess. Surely the "Board of Peace " members are the suckers who have been set up to sort it out.

As Trump has said this is the best board ever can we expect good things for the Gazans in future?
Will they be happy with the Gazan riviera that Trump plans?

Tony Blair. Peace ? Desperate if you have to ask a war criminal. I’m surprised he hasn’t asked his mate Putin as well.

NotSpaghetti Sat 17-Jan-26 09:54:46

I have reported myself and asked to remove my post - as it's somehow got in a muddle as I copied and pasted into notes and then here.

But basically two women in total over the 3 "peace" boards.

NotSpaghetti Sat 17-Jan-26 09:50:04

Just realised I copied one twice.
Apologies
