Pope Leo XIV has made a savage comment after President Donald Trump invited him to join his proposed ‘Board of Peace’.Trump has been busy with his peace-making plans ever since late last year when it was reported that he was trying to implement a structure to stop the Gaza conflict, which has been backed by the UN.The US initiative to end the Gaza war came from a 20-page peace plan which was developed in collaboration with multiple nations like Qatar, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Pakistan, and Indonesia and headed up by a Board of Peace.Now, the Board of Peace is something that is helmed by Trump and senior US officials.But it won’t include anyone from the Vatican, as Pope Leo has brutally turned down an invitation to join, said a senior Vatican official.

The US Board is chaired by Trump to allegedly provide strategic oversight, resource mobilization, and more to Gaza so it can move on to its reconstruction and becoming a stable nation.With an oversight structure including an Executive Board, senior advisors, and more, it aims to bring peace after its February 19 meeting which has racked up $5 million in pledges – per Trump.Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican’s secretary of state, allegedly revealed, per the Independent, that the Pope had some reservations about the structure of the Board.Apparently, he was concerned about the US being the primary body who would be managing international crisis situations such as Gaza’s conflict.Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Holy See’s secretary of state, told reporters the US shouldn’t be in charge, and that it should instead be led by the UN.“At the international level, it should above all be the U.N. that manages these crisis situations,” he told reporters, per Reuters.However, Pope Leo has been a long-time naysayer of Trump’s policies – so it might not shock people to know he refused the invite.
