According to reports, the first meeting is scheduled to take place in Washington, D.C., on February 19, with U.S. officials and diplomats from four participating countries expected to attend. The gathering will also serve as a fundraising event aimed at mobilising international support for Gaza’s reconstruction under a U.S.-led peace initiative.

The Board of Peace was created by President Trump to oversee peace building and governance mechanisms in Gaza, operating under what the administration has described as a new international framework for conflict resolution. While details of the board’s mandate and membership remain limited, officials say discussions are ongoing regarding additional participants and long-term structures.

Reports have also suggested that the Board of Peace could eventually assume responsibilities traditionally handled by multilateral institutions, fuelling speculation that it may seek to replace or bypass existing United Nations mechanisms a claim that has not been formally confirmed by U.S. authorities.

If Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attends the meeting, it would mark his first engagement with Arab and Muslim leaders since the October 7, 2023 attacks, a development analysts say could carry significant diplomatic weight.

The upcoming meeting comes amid heightened international focus on Gaza’s future governance, regional stability, and the role of global powers in shaping a post-conflict political order.
