Athena Rayburn is the Chief Executive of the Association of International Development Agencies (AIDA), a coalition of international non-governmental organizations operating in the occupied Palestinian territory.
The Board of Peace is a US-backed initiative, associated with Donald Trump, created to address the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and promote peace in the region.
Rayburn has publicly stated that the Board of Peace is failing, arguing that it has functioned to further entrench Israel's unlawful presence and has not adequately addressed the worsening conditions for Palestinians.
She has called on the Board's members to take responsibility for the situation under their watch, emphasizing that modest improvements in food access cannot be presented as success while Palestinians continue to face untenable living conditions.
The dispute centers on the effectiveness and impact of the Board of Peace's policies.
While the Board has touted progress, Rayburn and other aid officials contend that the situation for millions of Palestinians remains dire, highlighting a fundamental disagreement over the success and legitimacy of the Board's approach.
