Vatican Declines Participation in Trump’s Gaza Board of Peace Citing UN Role
The Vatican cited unresolved critical issues and emphasized the United Nations' role in crisis management, joining other Western allies in declining Trump’s peace board.
- On Tuesday, Cardinal Pietro Parolin in Rome said the Vatican will not participate in the Board of Peace.
- Parolin and Vatican envoys raised concerns that Pope Leo XIV declined the January invitation on moral and diplomatic grounds, with Parolin saying, `However, for us there are certain critical issues that should be resolved.`
- Since launch at Davos, organizers say at least 19 countries have signed the charter with more than $5 billion pledged, and the board's first meeting is in Washington on Thursday.
- The Vatican's refusal compounds concerns that Italy and the European Union will attend only as observers, raising questions about the initiative's legitimacy and its ties to the UN.
- Looking ahead, this positions the Vatican to uphold its long-standing stance against top-down peace deals, emphasizing justice and local participation in multilateral approaches, as Pope Leo XIV has championed since his election.
