President Donald Trump has created the \u201cBoard of Peace.\u201d Along with inviting countries, he also invited Pope Leo. However, the spiritual leader declined with a savage response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not long ago, Donald Trump launched the \u201cBoard of Peace,\u201d describing it as a way to help bring peace to war\u2011torn regions like Gaza \u2014 but the reaction was not what he expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While nations are required to pay $1 billion for permanent membership, several countries, including Germany, Canada, France, Italy, Norway, Sweden, the UK, and Ukraine, declined the invitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Countries such as Israel, Argentina, Russia, Hungary, and Saudi Arabia, among others, accepted Trump\u2019s offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In January, as Trump introduced the initiative, he also invited Pope Leo, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, to join. But now, the Pope and the Vatican have responded \u2014 and the response was brutal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pope Leo\u2019s response to Trump\u2019s \u2018Board of Peace\u2019 invitation
At first, the Vatican did not respond. In January, officials said Pope Leo was considering the invitation and needed time to decide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But now, the Vatican has made its position clear: it will not participate in Trump\u2019s plan. Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican\u2019s top diplomat, said Pope Leo believes conflicts like the one in Gaza should be handled by the United Nations, not by a board led by a single nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to The Independent, a Vatican spokesman told reporters: \u201cThis administration is trying to enforce our nation\u2019s laws in the most humane way possible, and we are upholding the law. We are doing that on behalf of the people of our country who live here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pope Leo himself did not publicly detail his reasoning, but the decision aligns with recent comments he has made about global issues. The Pope has been outspoken on peace, human rights, and how world leaders treat immigrants and refugees. He has also warned that human rights are endangered when freedom and dignity are ignored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
