The Board of Peace (BoP) published its foundational principles on its newly launched website, as its director, Nickolay Mladenov, met European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas.
Mladenov, a former Bulgarian politician and U.N. diplomat, was picked to manage the BoP—the brainchild of President Donald Trump—and has been tasked with securing peace in the Gaza Strip and rebuilding it after more than three years of conflict.
