The United States has extended invitations to at least six additional nations to join President Donald Trump’s newly proposed ‘Board of Peace,’ an international leadership consortium designed to oversee post-conflict procedures in Gaza while demonstrating aspirations for a expanded role in global governance. According to an anonymous U.S. official familiar with the unpublished charter, permanent membership requires a $1 billion contribution directed toward Gaza’s reconstruction, while non-contributing members receive three-year appointments.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, among Trump’s most steadfast European allies, has formally accepted participation, as confirmed by Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó during a state radio broadcast. India has likewise received an invitation, according to senior governmental sources speaking under anonymity. Jordan, Greece, Cyprus, and Pakistan similarly acknowledged receipt of invitations on Sunday, joining previously announced invitees including Canada, Turkey, Egypt, Paraguay, Argentina, and Albania.
The board’s establishment coincides with the delicate second phase of the October 10 ceasefire, encompassing responsibilities ranging from forming a new Palestinian administrative committee in Gaza to deploying international security forces, facilitating Hamas disarmament, and supervising territorial reconstruction. In invitation correspondence dispatched Friday, Trump characterized the initiative as a ‘bold new approach to resolving global conflict,’ potentially positioning it as an alternative to the United Nations Security Council.
The Security Council has faced repeated deadlocks over Gaza intervention due to U.S. vetoes, compounded by significant funding reductions implemented by the Trump administration. Although the Council previously endorsed the 20-point U.S. ceasefire plan incorporating the board’s creation, Israel has expressed objections to the recently announced executive committee, citing lack of coordination and policy conflicts.
The executive leadership includes U.S. Secretary of State Rubio, Trump envoy Steve Witkoff, senior advisor Jared Kushner, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, World Bank President Ajay Banga, deputy national security adviser Robert Gabriel, and Israeli billionaire Yakir Gabay. Representatives from ceasefire monitoring nations Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey complete the committee, with Turkey’s dual rapport with Israel and Hamas potentially proving instrumental in negotiation proceedings.
The official membership roster is anticipated to be unveiled during the forthcoming World Economic Forum assembly in Davos, Switzerland.
