The “Board of Peace” is a bit more symbolic. The actual work will be done by the NCAG which is led by and comprises of Palestinians.
The BoP functions a bit more like an oversight committee would in a business. Not handling the day-to-day, but monitoring progress and checking for violations. It kind of makes sense that that entity doesn’t have Palestinians in it, as the board needs to make sure all parties adhere to the peace plan. This necessitates it to be a third-party (in this case the US, as decided by the US). It should be mentioned that there’s also a Gaza Executive Board which also has Turkish, Qatari, UAE and UN representatives, which focuses on the operations of the NCAG.
So yeah, definitely US bias leading to the BoP having largely US officials (and cockroach Blair for some reason), but it’s seemingly not the worst thing ever here or evidence of an anti-Palestinian bias.
Afaik, no Israelis are involved in any board/committee.
It’s a pretty braindead choice, but I’m not sure this board checks the Israelis in the first place. According to the deal, they are supposed to remove themselves from Palestinian land, so they should be outside of the territory the board oversees.
Palestinians would be checking if Palestinians are sticking to the peace deal. It’s not a good idea to do that, and that has nothing to do with them being Palestinians. You need a 3rd party.
In case Russia and Ukraine brokered peace, you wouldn’t staff an oversight committee on the peace deal with Russians or Ukrainians either. You’d get an outside referee to do so.
Although my first choice wouldn’t be a bunch of conservative white dudes either, mind.

Tony Blair checking for Israeli violations is no problem?

Obviously actual Palestinians can’t be trusted in that position, you need a bunch of conservative white dudes.
