According to One America News, Netanyahu’s office confirmed the decision in a statement posted to X on Tuesday, declaring, “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced that he accepts the invitation of U.S. President Donald Trump and will become a member of the Board of Peace, which is to be comprised of world leaders.” The move places Israel firmly inside a framework designed in Washington rather than Brussels or the United Nations, underscoring a preference for U.S.-driven diplomacy over multilateral bureaucracies that have often constrained Israeli sovereignty.
The Associated Press claimed Netanyahu’s acceptance “could now put him in conflict” with certain members of his governing coalition, notably Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who has criticized both the board and its proposed role in Gaza’s reconstruction. That tension reflects a broader debate inside Israel over how much authority outside bodies should wield in shaping the future of territory that has been used repeatedly by Hamas as a launching pad for terror.

The Board of Peace was created by President Trump to supervise the rebuilding of Gaza under a U.S.-brokered peace plan aimed at ending the war between Hamas and Israel. Trump has also indicated that the board’s mandate could widen over time to address other global flashpoints where American leadership and a coalition of like-minded nations might counter failed international institutions.

Breitbart News reported that members of the board would serve three-year terms unless they secure permanent status by contributing $1 billion, a structure that emphasizes both commitment and financial responsibility rather than open-ended foreign aid. Israel is the latest nation to accept Trump’s invitation, joining a growing roster of states that see strategic value in a peace framework grounded in strength and accountability.

Invitations were reportedly extended to roughly 60 countries, and several key U.S. allies and partners have already signed on.

Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Qatar, and Vietnam have also accepted their offers, signaling that the board is drawing support from both Sunni Arab powers and major Muslim-majority nations beyond the Middle East. That breadth of participation undercuts the narrative that Trump-led initiatives are inherently isolating and instead suggests many governments prefer decisive leadership to endless process.
President Trump serves as chairman of the board, anchoring the project in the same America First philosophy that prioritized peace through strength during his administration. Other executive members include U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, U.S. political adviser Robert Gabriel Jr., U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, Trump’s son-in-law and former senior adviser Jared Kushner, former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, Apollo Global Management CEO Marc Rowan, World Bank President Ajay Banga, and Nickolay Mladenov, director-general of the Anwar Gargash Diplomatic Academy in the UAE.

Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares said on Wednesday that European leaders are still consulting among themselves to craft a common position on the board.

The Kremlin announced last week that Russian President Vladimir Putin has received an invitation to join the body, raising the stakes for how Moscow might position itself in a Trump-led peace structure. When asked on Wednesday whether he expected Putin to participate, Witkoff replied, “I think so.”

Italy has already declined its invitation, with the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera reporting that Rome fears joining a group led by a single leader would violate its constitution. The Italian constitution allows the country to join international organizations that ensure “peace and justice among nations” only “on equal terms with other states,” a standard that may keep Italy on the sidelines even as a new, more assertive peace architecture takes shape around it.
