50% : "Pakistan also hopes that these efforts will lead to the realisation of the right to self-determination of the people of Palestine, through a credible, time-bound political process, consistent with international legitimacy and relevant UN resolutions, resulting in the establishment of an independent, sovereign, and contiguous State of Palestine, based on the pre-1967 borders with Al Quds Al Sharif as its capital," the statement read.
50% : Only a few, including Hungary, Israel and the United Arab Emirates have so far accepted the invitation to join the board without reservations.
37% : The inclusion of a 'charter' in the invitation letter triggered concerns among some European governments that it could undermine the work of the United Nations, which Trump has accused of not supporting his efforts to end conflicts around the world.
20% : It should be noted that all eight countries had worked with Trump in October last year on a plan to end Israel's genocide and invasion in Gaza.
