Speaking at the Board of Peace signing ceremony, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the focus of the new body “first and foremost” will be making sure “this peace deal in Gaza becomes enduring.”
Trump “will give it everything he has to make sure this is successful,” says Rubio.
Rubio says the Board of Peace is a “board of action.” The new body will “serve as an example of what’s possible in other parts of the world without losing focus on what’s before us right now,” he says.
