Airline cancellations, Trump back in Washington, steady force buildup in the last week(s). Certainly significant combat indicators of potential action - but if so, what is the strategic intent this time around ?

Is now the time we should start referring to it as 'The Axis of Peace' ? #BoardOfPeace #Trump
Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko has now signed the document on Belarus's accession to Trump's "Board of Peace." To my best knowledge, Trump's "Board of Peace" currently consists of United States, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Albania, and Uzbekistan.

Lots of people 'studying' the Peace Board proposal...
Donald Trump has invited Vladimir Putin to the Gaza "peace board," the Kremlin says. Dmitry Peskov, Putin's spokesman, says Russia is "studying all details of the offer" and "hopes for discussions with Washington to go over all the nuances," per RIA Novosti.

All those script writers for West Wing who had scripts rejected for being too unbelievable are pretty pissed off atm...
Incredible… the story is actually not a parody. just had confirmed live on BBC Breakfast, from here in Davos, that yes, President Trump sent THAT note to the Norwegian PM saying that because they hadn’t given the Nobel Peace Prize, he could now justify owning Greenland.

Wow, if true this is a very strange conceptualising. And who would pay $1 billion to be a permanent member ?
The charter of Board of Peace is head-exploding. Performative or not, it does something no US Administration has ever done: internationalizing the Israeli- Palestinian conflict with US on top, eroding in theory Israeli and Palestinian agency.

Meanwhile, some adept political moves in #Syria to hose down the dispute with SDF/Kurds.

Going from 'instant' to 'action', or simply more of the impro theatre that is Trump decision making ? #Iran #IranProtests

Great background story on economic events leading up to the #Iran protests - A Tehran bank collapsed under the weight of bad loans to regime cronies. For some ordinary Iranians, it was the last straw. https://t.co/1Xs5cLOjLX via @WSJ

Bad loans to regime cronies brought down Ayandeh Bank, accelerating a long-running financial crisis.

If so (with everything else going on in the region), interesting to see whether it comes with a timetable and any more info about the stabilisation force. #Gaza
Scoop: Trump administration set to unveil Gaza ceasefire 'Phase 2' tomorrow - contingent on Iran events - including new 14-member Palestinian technocratic committee, 'high representative' Nikolay Mladenov, and executive committee of Board of Peace. Me @FT
