Netanyahu had previously criticized the U.S. for not coordinating with Israel on creating the board-likely due in part to Turkey&#8217;s inclusion on the Gaza Executive Board-but his office announced he will join nonetheless. The Board of Peace, whose founding executive members include Marco Rubio, Steve witkoff, Jared Kushner, Tony Blair, and Marc Rowan, is expected to have a signing ceremony at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Several countries (including the UAE, Morocco, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, Hungary, Argentina, Belarus, Azerbaijan, and Kosovo) have accepted membership, while France, Norway, Sweden, and Poland have declined amid concerns the board could supplant the United Nations. Russia was also invited and is reviewing the proposal. Israel has warned that Trump&#8217;s plan risks emboldening Hamas, which has welcomed the technocratic committee but has not agreed to disarm &#8211; a key test for the ceasefire&#8217;s next phase.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Netanyahu accepts Trump invitation to join Board of Peace despite Gaza objections<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2479264\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Israeli Prime Minister <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/benjamin-netanyahu\/\">Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a> has accepted President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump<\/a>&lsquo;s invitation to join his Board of Peace that will oversee the start of the second phase in postwar <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/gaza\/\">Gaza<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Netanyahu was previously critical of the Trump-led board because the United States did not coordinate with <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/israel\/\">Israel<\/a> on establishing the international body, which his office said &ldquo;runs contrary to its policy.&rdquo; Israel did not clarify its objections, but it likely disagrees with Trump&rsquo;s inclusion of Turkey in the Gaza Executive Board under the larger Board of Peace.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/4427023\/watch-live-trump-addresses-world-leaders-davos-summit\/\">WATCH LIVE: Trump addresses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/red-francis-joins-the-cdc-and-the-who-in-pushing-covid-vaccinations\/\" title=\"Red Francis ...s the CDC and the WHO in Pushing COVID Vaccinations\">world leaders<\/a> at Davos summit<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/4426405\/kurds-peace-talk-breakdown-isis-prisoner-escape\/\">Formerly US-backed Kurds blame peace talk breakdown for ISIS prisoner escape<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/foreign-policy\/4426665\/trump-board-of-peace-replace-united-nations\/\">Trump says his Board of Peace might replace UN<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Despite his criticism, Netanyahu welcomed Trump&rsquo;s offer.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >prime minister &#038;ldquo<\/a>;accepts the invitation of US President Donald Trump and will become a member of the Board of Peace, which is to be comprised of world leaders,&rdquo; his office <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/IsraeliPM\/status\/2013866433067864089\">announced<\/a> early Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Israel&rsquo;s announcement came as Trump was en route to <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/davos\/\">Davos<\/a>, Switzerland, for the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/world-economic-forum\/\">World Economic Forum&rsquo;s<\/a> annual meeting of world leaders.

France, in particular, opposes the board, fearing it may replace the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/united-nations\/\">United Nations<\/a> in the mediation of global conflicts.<\/p>\n<p>Trump spoke to France&rsquo;s suspicions on Tuesday when he said the Board of Peace <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/foreign-policy\/4426665\/trump-board-of-peace-replace-united-nations\/\">might replace<\/a> the U.N. He has criticized the global body for failing to help settle several wars, including the one in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Well, I mean, the U.N. just hasn&rsquo;t been very helpful,&rdquo; Trump said. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m a big fan of the U.N.&rsquo;s potential, but it has never lived up to its potential. The U.N. should have settled every one of the wars that I settled; I never went to them. I never even thought to go to them.

The Kremlin said on Monday it would review the proposal and deliberate with the White House.<\/p>\n<p>The Board of Peace is designed to preside over the transition of power in Gaza from <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/hamas\/\">Hamas<\/a> to a Palestinian technocratic committee.<\/p>\n<p>Hamas <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/foreign-policy\/4420717\/hamas-hails-gaza-government-announcement-positive-development\/\">welcomed the formation<\/a> of the Palestinian technocratic committee last week. Israel has expressed concerns that Trump&rsquo;s plans for Gaza will only embolden Hamas, as the terrorist group resumes fundraising and moves to revive weapons production. Hamas has also refused to disarm, which will be a key test for whether the second phase in the Israel-Hamas ceasefire holds.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/foreign-policy\/4424445\/trump-board-of-peace-gaza-countries-invited\/\">WHO WAS INVITED TO BE ON TRUMP&rsquo;S &lsquo;BOARD OF PEACE&rsquo;?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Last week, the White House <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefings-statements\/2026\/01\/statement-on-president-trumps-comprehensive-plan-to-end-the-gaza-conflict\/\">said<\/a> the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-invited-putin-to-join-gaza-board-of-peace-kremlin\/\" title=\"Trump invited Putin to ... ... &#039;... of ...&#039;: Kremlin\">founding executive board<\/a> of Trump&rsquo;s larger board includes Secretary of State <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/marco-rubio\/\">Marco Rubio<\/a>, Middle East special envoy <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/steve-witkoff\/\">Steve Witkoff<\/a>, Trump&rsquo;s son-in-law <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jared-kushner\/\">Jared Kushner<\/a>, former United Kingdom Prime Minister <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/tony-blair\/\">Tony Blair<\/a>, and Apollo Global Management CEO Marc Rowan.<\/p>\n<p>Separate from the founding executive board, the Gaza Executive Board includes some of the aforementioned figures in addition to Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and Israeli businessman Yakir Gabay.
