Trump invites countries to join a Gaza 'Board of Peace' with a fee

President Donald Trump has invited several countries and entities to join a proposed 'Board of Peace' for Gaza. The invitations were sent to the European Union, Russia, Thailand, and Morocco, among others.

Reactions have been mixed. The Czech Republic, as an EU member, publicly stated it cannot pay the reported $1 billion membership fee. The Kremlin confirmed Russian President Vladimir Putin received an invitation, while Morocco's king has reportedly accepted. The EU Commission confirmed receipt but did not announce a decision.

The initiative appears to be in its early stages, with key invited parties like the EU and Russia not yet committing to join or pay the substantial fee.
