Although Washington presented the initiative as a major step toward rebuilding and stabilizing Gaza after the conflict, Vatican officials clarified they will not participate in its current form, citing the Church\u2019s unique role in global affairs.<\/p>\n<p>Trump introduced the Board of Peace in January as part of a broader strategy aimed at ending the war and guiding Gaza toward long-term stability and development. The White House described the board as a coordinating body that would oversee implementation, gather international support, and ensure accountability, with Trump leading the initiative alongside experts in diplomacy, infrastructure, and economic development.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\"><\/div>\n<p>Speaking during a diplomatic engagement in Rome, Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin explained that the Holy See would not join \u201cbecause of its particular nature,\u201d emphasizing that the Vatican does not operate like a traditional state. He also noted that certain aspects of the proposal remained unclear and raised concerns, describing parts of the plan as \u201csomewhat perplexing\u201d and requiring further explanation before any reconsideration.<\/p>\n<p>Parolin stressed a broader principle guiding the Vatican\u2019s position: international crises, he said, should primarily be addressed through the United Nations. Following the Vatican\u2019s statement, the White House defended the initiative, calling it a serious peace effort while expressing disappointment at the Vatican\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n<p>For now, the exchange reflects a familiar dynamic in global diplomacy\u2014between ambitious new proposals from major powers and the Vatican\u2019s long-standing preference for neutrality and UN-centered conflict resolution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Vatican has issued a calm but firm response to President Donald Trump\u2019s invitation to join his proposed \u201cBoard of Peace,\u201d placing the Holy See at the&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":43998,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43997","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.1 -
