The Trump administration plans to take a proposed Sudan peace plan to President Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace” in addition to the UN Security Council if Sudan’s warring parties agree to the proposal, US Senior Advisor for Arab and African Affairs Massad Boulos said Tuesday.
“It's likely that we can get this accepted by the two parties, take it to the Security Council…We can also take it to the Board of Peace very shortly after that,” Boulos said during an event involving the Sudan Humanitarian Fund at the US Institute of Peace in Washington, DC.
“The Board of Peace is very much interested in this process. They're very much interested in what you're doing and looking forward to providing considerable support,” he added.
Boulos stressed that the two tracks are “absolutely complementary,” arguing that initiatives adopted by the Board of Peace could generate additional political momentum alongside UN mechanisms.
“It doesn't in any way affect the UN or the UN Security Council,” he said.
He said the “comprehensive peace plan” has been agreed to by members of the Quad — the US, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, a diplomatic grouping focused on ending the civil war in Sudan.

So the Trump administration is going to show the Sudan peace plan to a Board that was originally conceived for Gaza (the Middle East) about something that is happening in Africa
I suppose not a bad idea but Gaza and now Sudan. Don’t forget that they talked about Ukraine, Venezuela, and Cuba (I think)
Apparently,

While I don’t expect either the UN or the BOP to fix Sudan, at least the BOP is just America and “friends” rather than UNSC veto gridlock
Meanwhile, their Gaza peace plan isn’t working at all. From today:
>Israeli tank shelling and airstrikes killed 24 Palestinians including seven children in Gaza on Wednesday, health officials said, the latest violence to undermine the nearly four-month-old ceasefire in the enclave. Among the dead was a medic who rushed to help victims of a strike in the southern city of Khan Younis and was then killed by a second attack on the same location, health officials said. Other strikes hit Gaza City in the north, where health officials said a 5-month-old boy was killed. Israel said its strikes came after Gazan terrorists fired on its soldiers, wounding atleast one.
