Starmer fails to endorse Trump's 'Board of Peace' for Gaza

Sir Keir Starmertoday failed to endorse Donald Trump's 'Board of Peace' as the Government frets about the $1billion cost of membership. The Prime Minister told a press conference in Downing Streethe was 'talking to allies' about the terms of signing up to the US President's initiative. But - in what Mr Trump might view as a public snub of his plans - Sir Keir declined to give a fulsome commitment that Britain would join. According to a draft charter for the proposed group, the US President will serve as its inaugural charman and will decide on who is invited to be members.
