Israel – (Special Correspondent / Web Desk) – Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to join US President Donald Trump’s newly formed “Board of Peace,” which is focused on addressing global conflicts, his office announced on Wednesday.

According to the statement, “Prime Minister Netanyahu has accepted President Trump’s invitation and will participate as a member of the Board of Peace, bringing together world leaders to work toward solutions.”

The board was originally conceived to oversee the rebuilding of post-war Gaza, but its charter seen by AFP does not appear to limit its role to the Palestinian territory, and members have to pay up to $1 billion for a permanent spot on it.

The board “seeks to promote stability, restore dependable and lawful governance, and secure enduring peace in areas affected or threatened by conflict”, reads the preamble of the charter sent to countries invited to participate.

It will be chaired by Trump himself, who will also “separately serve” as the representative of the United States.

Dozens of countries and leaders have said they have received an invitation, including close US allies but also adversaries.

A day earlier, the UAE president and Bahrain’s king accepted an invitation to sit on Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’, joining a handful of countries to have endorsed the initiative.

Longtime US ally France, however, has indicated it will not join.

While announcing the creation of the board last week, Trump also unveiled plans to establish a “Gaza Executive Board” operating under the body.

The executive board would include Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and Qatari diplomat Ali Al-Thawadi.

Netanyahu has strongly objected to their inclusion.

Ties between Turkey and Israel have deteriorated since Israel’s Gaza invasion started in October 2023 following an unprecedented attack by Hamas on Israel.
