U.S. President Donald Trump is set to host the first meeting of his newly established Peace Board in Washington this month, aimed at raising funds for the reconstruction of Gaza. Scheduled for February 19, this meeting will see the participation of various global leaders who had previously accepted invitations to join the board. Notably, Pakistan has also been invited to this gathering, indicating an inclusive approach towards key players in regional stability and reconstruction efforts.

The meeting will include leaders who accepted Trump’s invitation to join the board in January, alongside members of the newly formed executive committee dedicated to overseeing governance, security, and reconstruction efforts in the area. This executive committee is particularly essential in managing the specific aspects of aid distribution and rebuilding initiatives, which have become crucial after recent conflicts in Gaza. The efforts are seen as a strategic move to foster international cooperation and support for the affected region.

As of now, the exact number of leaders who will accept Trump’s invitation remains unclear, and the formal announcement about the meeting is still pending. The agenda for the gathering is yet to be finalized, and the administration is hopeful for strong participation, which suggests a concerted effort towards establishing a concrete framework for peace and development in Gaza. This meeting could potentially have significant implications for U.S. foreign policy in the region, particularly in fostering partnerships with countries advocating for peace and stability in the Middle East.
