NPR has obtained a copy of the charter being distributed.
Trump seeks a broad mandate to secure peace in conflict zones, suggesting Trump may wish to use it as a kind of alternative UN to handle other world conflicts in addition to Gaza.

The document says permanent member countries must donate at least $1 billion each, and Trump would have broad powers as chairman.

President Trump late Friday announced a new Gaza executive board that will oversee governance in Gaza, replacing Hamas.
Israel is objecting to two members of the oversight board, the foreign minister of Turkey and a senior official from Qatar.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he's asking the matter be raised with Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Qatar and Turkey are Trump's close allies, and Trump said in a social media post that those countries would help demilitarize Hamas.
