- •A federal judge ruled the takeover illegal, but enforcement is on hold pending a government appeal.
- •Counsel for former USIP leadership, George Foote, stated the government has no right to rename, lease, or use the building for a new organization like the Board of Peace.
- •The Board of Peace, unveiled at the World Economic Forum in Davos, aims to oversee the Gaza ceasefire and resolve other global conflicts, with some allies wary of its potential to rival the UN Security Council.
