The first meeting of the so - called Gaza "Board of Peace" initiated by the United States was held in Davos, where US President Donald Trump signed the Board's charter with heads of state and representatives from 19 countries, including Hungary. Notably, none of the Western European countries with close ties to the United States nor the other four permanent members of the UN Security Council participated. Trump's remarks at Davos have sparked widespread criticism and skepticism, and his foreign policy is believed to potentially continuously impact the world order. Trump held a meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky and stated that the war must end. The United States has officially withdrawn from the World Health Organization (WHO) and plans to withdraw from 66 international organizations in batches.

On the local time of the 21st, the first meeting of the so - called Gaza "Board of Peace" initiated by the United States was held in Davos, Switzerland. US President Donald Trump, along with heads of state and representatives from various countries, signed the charter of the Board of Peace.

It is worth mentioning that on the previous day (January 20), Trump signed an executive order announcing the United States' withdrawal from the WHO. The United Nations received this notification on January 22 of the same year. According to the WHO Constitution, a member state can only formally withdraw one year after submitting its withdrawal application. January 22 this year marks the first anniversary of the United States formally submitting its withdrawal application from the WHO to the United Nations. In accordance with the WHO Constitution, this means the United States has formally withdrawn from the WHO in terms of procedures. A WHO spokesperson said that although it has been one year since the United States submitted its withdrawal application, it has not yet settled its outstanding dues of $278 million. The WHO will discuss the issue of the US withdrawal at the meeting of its Executive Board to be held in early February.

Trump launched the so - called "Board of Peace". Video footage showed that the United States has signed with 18 countries.

On the 22nd, US President Donald Trump signed a document with representatives from more than a dozen countries and regions in Davos, Switzerland, to launch the so - called "Board of Peace". Notably, representatives from Palestine and Israel were not among the signatories.

According to a report by Sputnik News Agency on January 22, as cited by Reference News, video footage showed that 19 countries signed the charter of the US - led Gaza "Board of Peace" in Davos. The report stated that in addition to the United States, Hungary, Argentina, Bahrain, Morocco, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Indonesia, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Paraguay, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, and Mongolia signed the charter on January 22.

Another report by CCTV International News noted that none of the Western European countries that once had close relations with the United States participated, nor did the other four permanent members of the UN Security Council. The US side claimed that the Board aims to implement the Gaza "peace plan" but hopes it will also play a role in other parts of the world. The outside world is worried that this organization may weaken the role of the United Nations as the main platform for global diplomacy and conflict resolution.

At the signing ceremony, Jared Kushner, Trump's son - in - law and a member of the organization's founding executive committee, released a "master plan" for Gaza's future, stating that the Gaza Strip will develop into residential areas, tourist resorts, industrial zones, and agricultural areas in the future.

Some comments described the ceremony as similar to a real estate developer's roadshow.

According to a statement on the Kremlin website on the 21st, Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed that US President Donald Trump has invited Russia to join the so - called "Board of Peace" initiated by the United States, and Russia will consult with its strategic partners on this matter. Putin stated that given Russia's special relationship with the Palestinian people, even if Russia has not yet decided whether to participate in the work of the so - called "Board of Peace", it can still "allocate" $1 billion from its frozen assets in the United States to provide to the "Board of Peace".

He also said that the remaining frozen Russian assets in the United States can be used for post - war reconstruction after Russia and Ukraine sign a peace treaty, and Russia is discussing with US representatives the possibility of using the frozen assets in this way.

The US government recently announced the establishment of a so - called "Board of Peace" to oversee the post - war transitional governance of the Gaza Strip and invited multiple countries to join. According to a copy of the relevant draft charter disclosed, Trump will serve as the "lifetime chairman" of the Board. In an interview, Trump stated that the "Board of Peace" will first address the Gaza issue and then expand to handle "other conflicts". Multiple media outlets have revealed that the US side has set a "permanent membership" fee of $1 billion for the Board. Public opinion holds that the US intends to build an institution parallel to the United Nations, which will further undermine the authority and working mechanisms of the United Nations.

Trump's Davos Speech Was Ridiculed

On the 21st, US President Donald Trump delivered a speech at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland. His remarks triggered widespread criticism and skepticism, and his administration's foreign policy is believed to potentially "continuously impact the world order".

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked Trump's speech as "boring" and "rude". He said that regarding Trump's attempt to obtain Greenland, Europe "should be worried if they do not respond firmly and stand up to defend their positions".

Matthias Diependaele, Minister - President of the Flemish Government of Belgium, told Xinhua News Agency that the only positive signal in Trump's remarks was his claim that he would not use military force to invade Greenland. On the 22nd, it was reported that US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Trump's son - in - law, would arrive in Moscow, the Russian capital, that evening to hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. While attending the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland on the 22nd, Witkoff told the media that relevant dialogue on the Ukraine issue has "made significant progress", and there is only "one remaining issue" for peace talks between Russia and Ukraine.

On the local time of the 22nd, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that trilateral talks among Ukraine, the United States, and Russia will be held in the United Arab Emirates on the 23rd, describing them as technical - level talks.

It is reported that these trilateral talks will last for two days.

Expert Analysis: What Is the Purpose of the US Withdrawing from Multiple International Organizations in Batches? What Does It Mean?

On January 20, 2025, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order announcing the United States' withdrawal from the WHO. The United Nations received this notification on January 22 of the same year. According to the WHO Constitution, a member state can only formally withdraw one year after submitting its withdrawal application. January 22 marks the first anniversary of the United States formally submitting its withdrawal application from the WHO to the United Nations.

At a time when global public health risks have not been completely eliminated, why did the United States choose to withdraw from the WHO? From the US government's explanation, financial factors are one of the important reasons driving the withdrawal. The Trump administration believes that the payment of dues to such multilateral institutions no longer aligns with "US interests". Against this backdrop, withdrawing from the WHO is regarded as an important step to break free from the constraints of multilateral rules and strengthen the logic of "America First". More analysis points out that this approach is not limited to the WHO. The United States is generally reducing its participation in multilateral mechanisms and placing "direct alignment with its own interests" as almost the sole criterion.

At the same time, domestic political factors cannot be ignored. With the 2026 US mid - term elections approaching, against the backdrop of high inflation and increasing pressure on people's livelihoods, a series of actions to withdraw from international organizations are seen as a way to consolidate the support of conservative voters by strengthening the political narrative of "US sovereignty first" and "no longer paying for the world". Withdrawing from international organizations is being packaged as a low - cost and quick - acting political gesture.

Dr. Ashish K. Jha, a US public health expert, said that US influence will be significantly weakened, and other countries will no longer view the United States as an important force in global public health. Global health governance will not stop operating due to the US withdrawal from the WHO, but US influence will come to an end accordingly.

On the 7th of this month, the White House issued a statement saying that US President Donald Trump signed a presidential memorandum that day, instructing the United States to withdraw from 66 international organizations that "no longer serve US interests". According to the memorandum released by the White House, these international organizations include 31 UN entities and 35 non - UN organizations. In the presidential memorandum, Trump claimed that the operations of these organizations and entities are contrary to US national interests, security, economic prosperity, or sovereignty. After Trump returned to the White House in January last year, the United States has announced its withdrawal from UNESCO, the WHO, the UN Human Rights Council, and other organizations.

What Is the Purpose of the US Recently Announcing Its Withdrawal from 66 International Organizations in Batches? What Does It Mean? Let's Continue to Listen to Expert Analysis.

Diao Daming, Professor at the School of International Relations, Renmin University of China: The US government's large - scale announcement of withdrawing from international organizations indicates the comprehensive upgrading of US unilateralist diplomacy, exposing that US diplomacy has fully taken the so - called "America First" as its principle and entered a hegemonic and self - serving track where it will not act without benefits.

The international organizations that the United States is going to withdraw from involve various global governance fields such as climate change, public health, human rights, education and culture, refugee assistance, and sustainable development. On the one hand, the United States is increasingly pursuing the maximization of its own self - interest in foreign affairs, refusing to invest in what it deems inconsistent with its self - interest. On the other hand, as developing countries have gained more say in international organizations, the United States has begun to feel that it is not cost - effective and even has a sense of being wronged. In addition, due to the pressure of this year's mid - term elections, the US government is more eager to promote some extreme domestic and foreign agendas, or shift domestic conflicts to retain its conservative voters. Therefore, the US behavior of withdrawing from international organizations is not a form of complete isolationism, but a variant of selective hegemony oriented towards maximizing interests.

The US withdrawal from international organizations once again poses challenges to global governance. It not only further hinders global efforts to address global issues such as climate change, but also directly weakens multilateral mechanisms for coordinating issues related to economic and trade as well as social development. The international community can only accelerate unity and form a joint force to jointly promote the continuous development of various issues and fields of global governance.
