Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday accepted President Donald Trump’s invitation to join what the U.S. president has described as a “Board of Peace,” an initiative intended to focus first on ending the ongoing conflict in Gaza before potentially expanding to address other global disputes.
Netanyahu’s office announced the decision in a post on X, confirming that the prime minister had agreed to take part in the effort at Trump’s request. According to the statement, the initiative is designed to bring together selected leaders to pursue negotiated solutions to major international conflicts.
The announcement said the initial priority of the proposed board would be the war in Gaza, with the possibility that its mandate could later broaden to include additional regional or international crises. No further details were provided about the structure of the board, its membership beyond Netanyahu, or a timeline for its work.
Trump has publicly framed the concept as part of his broader foreign policy approach, emphasizing direct engagement by national leaders as a means of resolving protracted conflicts. Netanyahu’s acceptance marks the first publicly confirmed participation by a foreign leader in the proposed initiative.
Neither the White House nor Netanyahu’s office offered additional comment on how the Board of Peace would operate or what authority it would hold beyond consultation and dialogue.
