    Lula urges Trump to limit “Peace Board” to Gaza in call covering governance, Venezuela and bilateral agenda

    The exchange comes as Washington advances an international framework linked to Gaza’s postwar administration

    Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva held a phone call on Monday with U.S. President Donald Trump, in a nearly hour-long conversation that blended global governance issues with the bilateral agenda. Brazilian media, citing Planalto Palace sources, reported that Lula argued Trump’s proposed “Peace Board” should be restricted exclusively to the future governance of the Gaza Strip and should also contemplate the creation of a Palestinian state—an approach those sources said Trump does not share.
