The controversial "Board of Peace" meets formally for the first time in Washington, DC. Launched by President Trump in January, 19 countries have signed its charter. Trump, chairman of the board, promised $5 billion for Gaza aid. Meanwhile, Israel’s far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich plans to push for Palestinian migration from West Bank and Gaza, calling for nullifying the Oslo Accords and seeking "long-term solution" by encouraging emigration. The Vatican, through Cardinal Pietro Parolin, rejected joining the Board of Peace, saying crisis resolution should be led by the United Nations. "One concern is that at the international level, it should above all be the UN that manages these crisis situations," Parolin said. Settler violence worsens in the occupied West Bank. Palestinian Bedouins in al-Auja village face repeated attacks forcing multiple displacements. Ayed Kaabneh, a resident, said he was displaced three times in a month as settlers chased them fearing their tents could be set on fire. Both Israeli and Palestinian authorities offer no protection. In the US, immigration courts dropped deportation cases against two pro-Palestinian students, Mohsen Mahdawi and Rumeysa Ozturk. The Department of Homeland Security failed to prove they posed a foreign policy threat, questioning evidence authenticity—marking a setback for the Trump administration. The Hind Rajab Foundation has asked Chilean courts to prosecute Rom Kovtun, an Israeli-Ukrainian ex-sniper accused of war crimes in Gaza. Tensions also appear in culture: 81 actors and directors, including Javier Bardem and Tilda Swinton, criticized the Berlin International Film Festival for its silence on "Israel's genocide" in Gaza. They accused festival president Wim Wenders of evading political issues, calling the festival’s stance "anti-Palestinian racism."
