The Gaza Executive Board of the Board of Peace has three European members: Sigrid Kaag, Tony Blair and Nickolay Mladenov.
As a former diplomat (career at the United Nations) and politician (deputy prime minister of the Netherlands from 2022-2024 and leader of a centrist liberal party from 2020-2023), Sigrid Kaag’s decision has de facto brought a semblance of respectability to this Board that makes it now easier for other European countries to join.
Am I the only one who is perplexed by this decision by Sigrid Kaag?
Well, like you said I’ve nothing to add. I find the whole thing just too weird, don’t know where even to start. If she does it, it’s not for ego or career. Iirc she might be connected to Davos, and that’s all behind closed doors anyway.
And these “Trump initiatives” are set to change soon, considering the Greenland affair and looming US-EU tradewar.
