More than 25 countries have joined the newly formed Board of Peace, according to a United States official, with the group's initial focus set on Gaza. The list of members includes the United States, Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and several others, while almost a dozen countries have declined invitations and some are still considering their participation. The Board of Peace was given a two-year mandate by the United Nations Security Council to oversee postwar management in Gaza, although its charter suggests broader ambitions in global conflict resolution. The United States has indicated that the board may expand its scope if new opportunities arise, as President Trump evaluates its potential to achieve different outcomes in international peace efforts.
