Israel's Netanyahu accepts invitation to join Trump's Board of Peace

Netanyahu agreed to join the U.S.-led Board of Peace to oversee Gaza’s ceasefire phase two, despite international reluctance and absence of Palestinian representation.

  • On Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accepted US President Donald Trump’s invitation to join the Board of Peace, his office confirming the decision on X and Facebook.
  • Originally, the Board was designed to oversee Gaza’s ceasefire, but U.S. President Donald Trump expanded it by inviting leaders worldwide to address broader conflicts.
  • A draft charter gives the chair sweeping powers, including inviting members and breaking tied votes; the executive board includes Marco Rubio, Jared Kushner, and Tony Blair, while a $1 billion contribution secures permanent membership.
  • Israel’s acceptance followed earlier hesitation in Jerusalem, with critics including finance minister Bezalel Smotrich urging unilateral Gaza control, while Palestinians called Netanyahu’s role and ICC arrest warrant obstacles to Phase Two.
  • On Thursday at Davos, the White House will provide more details as the draft remains under revision, with Trump saying, `I wish the United Nations could do more. I wish we didn't need a Board of Peace.
