I have severe reservation. In the UK, it should be discussed by the House of Lords, the more reflective chamber, and gain all Party support in the Commons..
The United Nations, with all its faults, has served the world well since its inauguration.
There is a lot of work still to be done in Gaza, especially by the Aid Agencies, now blocked by the Israelis. And that is where the New Organisation reared its head.

@peterlee With the Israeli government showing its utter contempt for the UN by destroying the UNWRA building, it's perhaps not surprising this so-called "Board of Peace" notion might arise; but I can't help thinking we should at least reserve judgement for a while.
Perhaps for the next three years, at least.
The UN might not be perfect. No human-made system ever is. The right way on is to identify its weknesses and try to put them right. Not subscribe at huge cost to the invention of one very unpredictable man with poor diplomatic ability and very unclear motives.
