France has signaled that it does not plan to join U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposed Board of Peace, according to a source close to President Emmanuel Macron. The board was initially presented as a mechanism to oversee the rebuilding of Gaza, but its draft charter does not clearly limit its mandate to the occupied Palestinian territory. French officials have expressed concern that the project extends beyond Gaza and raises serious questions about respect for the principles and structure of the United Nations.
As a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council, France has reiterated that the United Nations remains central to effective multilateralism, international law, and the peaceful settlement of disputes. While reviewing the proposed legal framework with partners, French authorities stressed that any initiative must not undermine existing global institutions. At the same time, France reaffirmed its commitment to a ceasefire in Gaza and to a credible political future for both Palestinians and Israelis.
Canada, meanwhile, has taken a different approach. Prime Minister Mark Carney indicated a willingness to join the board, citing the importance of influencing the process from within. However, a government source clarified that Canada will not pay for a seat. Under the draft charter, countries could extend their membership beyond three years by contributing more than one billion dollars in the first year. Canadian officials emphasized that the charter remains under discussion and its terms are not final.
