Nations React to Reported $1 Billion Fee for Trump’s Peace Board

  President Trump said the Peace Board 'will embark on a new approach to resolving global conflict'. Reports surrounding President Donald Trump’s proposed Board of Peace have ignited global debate after claims surfaced that countries may be asked to contribute $1 billion to secure or maintain permanent membership. The board, envisioned as a body overseeing governance and reconstruction efforts in Gaza, would reportedly be chaired by Trump himself, who would hold authority over which nations are admitted. A draft charter circulating among diplomats outlines three‑year membership terms, renewable only with the chairman’s approval. It also suggests that nations contributing $1 billion within the first year could bypass term limits and secure a permanent seat.

Why ISIS Targeted Russia: Insights into the Moscow Concert Hall Attack

 


In a brazen and deadly attack, assailants stormed Moscow’s Crocus City Hall during a concert, leaving more than 133 people dead and over 100 injured. The concertgoers were attending a performance by a Soviet-era rock band when the violence erupted. The attackers, dressed in camouflage uniforms, opened fire and reportedly hurled explosive devices inside the venue. The concert hall was left in flames, its roof collapsing after the assault.

The Islamic State in Khorasan Province (ISIL-K), also known as ISIL’s Afghan branch, has claimed responsibility for this horrific incident. United States officials have confirmed the authenticity of this claim. But why would ISIS target Russia?

The Motive Behind the Attack

  1. Russia’s Involvement in Syria: Like the United States, Russia has been actively engaged in the fight against Daesh (ISIS) in Syria. The terrorist group perceives both countries as hostile due to their military actions against ISIL.

  2. ISIL-K’s Radical Ideology: ISIL-K remains one of the most active ISIL affiliates. Its brutal reputation is built on radical and tough methodologies. The group’s ideology inspires them to select targets strategically. Moscow, being a major global capital, becomes a prime location for their violent acts.

  3. Historical Context: Russia’s historical involvement in the region, including its presence in Afghanistan and Iran, adds to the group’s perception of Russia as a target.

As ISIL-K continues to operate, we may witness more attacks, possibly in other capitals. The tragedy at Moscow’s concert hall serves as a grim reminder of the ongoing threat posed by extremist groups.
