US President Donald Trump’s administration wants nations to pay $1 billion to stay on his Gaza Board of Peace for more than three years, according to the full text of the board’s charter, which has been obtained and verified by The Times of Israel.

“Each Member State shall serve a term of no more than three years from this Charter’s entry into force, subject to renewal by the Chairman,” who will be US President Donald Trump, the charter says. “The three-year membership term shall not apply to Member States that contribute more than USD $1,000,000,000 in cash funds to the Board of Peace within the first year of the Charter’s entry into force.”
