Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to join United States President Donald Trump's newly proposed 'Board of Peace', a move that marks a significant shift from his earlier criticism of the committee overseeing the Gaza ceasefire. Netanyahu's office had previously objected to the board's composition, particularly the inclusion of Turkey, but now Israel will participate alongside several other nations. The board, initially intended to oversee the Gaza ceasefire, has expanded in scope, with Trump inviting dozens of countries and suggesting it could broker global conflicts in the future.

Netanyahu's decision has sparked political debate within Israel, with far-right coalition members voicing opposition and calling for Israel to take unilateral responsibility for Gaza. The board's creation has also drawn international reactions, with France supporting the peace plan but opposing any move to replace the United Nations. Other countries have received invitations but have yet to respond, while some, including the United Arab Emirates and Morocco, have agreed to join. The Gaza executive committee will oversee the next phase of the ceasefire, including deploying international security forces and rebuilding Gaza.
