Trump invites leaders of Egypt, Turkey, Argentina to join Gaza peace board
Over 50 leaders invited to oversee Gaza's transitional governance and reconstruction under Trump's chairmanship, with potential expansion to address global conflicts, White House officials said.
- On Jan 18, leaders received invitation letters to join the US-led Board of Peace focused on post-war Gaza, the White House said, after announcing initial members on Friday.
- Seen as Gaza-first, the charter frames the board's role as rebuilding governance, coordinating regional relations, attracting investment and mobilising large-scale funding, with initial focus on Gaza, the White House said.
- The White House named Tony Blair, former British prime minister, and others to the Board of Peace, including Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, Ajay Banga, Marc Rowan, and Robert Gabriel, with Blair saying, `'I thank President Trump for his leadership...`
- Israel's office said the board's composition was not coordinated with it and contradicted its policy, while diplomats and human rights experts warned the plan risks becoming a US-controlled alternative to the UN with no Palestinian representatives.
- Invitations reached more than 50 leaders worldwide, including Argentina, Canada, France, Germany, Australia, Egypt and Turkey, with a charter outlining a global peace mandate and more members to be named.
