Trump names international figures to new Gaza 'Board of Peace'

President Donald Trump has announced the creation of a 'Board of Peace' for Gaza and named its initial members. The group includes former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, US Senator Marco Rubio, and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. Trump has also invited the leaders of Egypt, Turkey, Argentina, and Italy to join the board.

Tony Blair said he was 'honored' to be part of the board's executive committee. Argentina's President Javier Milei also accepted the invitation, calling it an honor. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni stated that Italy is available to participate in the initiative.

The board appears to be a proposed international advisory group focused on the Gaza conflict, though its exact authority or operational plan is not detailed in the announcements. The invitations and appointments are being framed as an effort to assemble a diverse coalition to address the situation.
