Pro-Palestine agitators staged a gruesome demonstration outside President Donald Trump’s inaugural Board of Peace meeting in Washington, DC on Thursday, throwing an effigy of the president to the ground and spraying it with fake blood.

“Board of Peace, board of lies!” demonstrators chanted, along with “US out of Palestine” and “no peace on stolen land.” Others held signs reading, “democracy dies with billionaires” and “Board of Peace another Trump scam” as the meeting convened inside with officials from more than 40 countries and the European Union in attendance.

The protest came as Trump announced that the United States would commit $10 billion to the newly formed Board of Peace, an international body aimed at coordinating post-war stabilization efforts, particularly in Gaza. Nine nations—including Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, and Kuwait—pledged a combined $7 billion toward reconstruction efforts, part of what officials estimate could be a $70 billion rebuilding process.

Central to the Board’s early agenda is security. An American-supported Palestinian governing body, the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), has opened applications for a new police force, drawing roughly 2,000 applicants within hours. Administration officials say the Board will help oversee reconstruction, governance, and a proposed international stabilization force tasked with maintaining order and preventing further conflict.
