The White House is preparing to host the first leaders meeting for President Donald Trump's 'Board of Peace' regarding Gaza on February 19, according to reports. This event, which is also intended to serve as a fundraising conference for Gaza reconstruction, is still in its early planning stages and details may change. The meeting is expected to take place at the US Institute of Peace in Washington, coinciding with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's scheduled visit to Trump the day before.

The board, launched by Trump in January, aims to address global conflicts and supervise Gaza's temporary governance, but has faced criticism for excluding Palestinians and concerns about undermining the United Nations. While some Middle Eastern allies have joined the initiative, many traditional Western allies remain hesitant. The fragile ceasefire in Gaza has seen repeated violations, resulting in significant casualties and displacement, with ongoing debates about the nature and legitimacy of the board's oversight.
