Guterres Backs Trump's Peace Board, UN Teams Collaborate

0:00This is Global News Today. Every region, every story, every day. United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guteras has endorsed the main goals of Donald Trump's Board of Peace. The group plans to provide funding for basic rebuilding in Gaza, focusing on homes and key infrastructure. In a recent interview, Guteras explained that this objective lines up with the plan approved by the UN Security Council. He added that UN teams are already partnering with the board's new setups to make progress. Guteras also addressed rising tensions elsewhere, calling for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He suggested the UN could assist in securing the vital shipping route and easing attacks in the area. He noted he has not talked directly with Trump since the war started, but has held discussions with other administration members to keep channels open. With these steps in place, international efforts are gaining some traction towards stability in the Middle East.
