The US is planning to hold a signing ceremony for President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace later this week, as it seeks to jumpstart phase two of his Gaza peace plan while also establishing the nascent international oversight body as the address for conflict resolution around the globe.

The signing ceremony is scheduled to be held on Thursday at 10:30 a.m. on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, according to a copy of the invitation circulating online whose authenticity was confirmed by a US official.

It’s unclear how many leaders will participate in the ceremony, though, amid mounting discomfort with Washington’s apparent effort to use the Board of Peace to usurp the United Nations.

The panel for world leaders headed by Trump was initially presented as one that would exclusively oversee the postwar management of Gaza, and, in November, the UN Security Council voted to give it a two-year mandate to do so.

But the charter, obtained by The Times of Israel on Saturday, makes no mention of Gaza and appears to take a swipe at the UN, saying that the new board should have “the courage to depart from approaches and institutions that have too often failed.”

The document was attached to invitations to join the board that were sent to dozens of world leaders on Friday. Since then, the leaders of Albania, Australia, Belarus, Canada, Cyprus, Egypt, Germany, Greece, India, Israel, Jordan, Pakistan, Paraguay, Poland, Russia, Singapore, Thailand, Turkey and Uzbekistan confirmed receiving an invitation, while only Argentina, Hungary, Morocco and Vietnam announced decisions to accept the offer.
