The foreign ministers of the Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, Egypt, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Qatar, and the UAE have welcomed the invitation extended to their leaders by President Donald J. Trump of the United States of America to join the Board of Peace.
The ministers announced their countries’ shared decision to join the Board of Peace.
Each country will sign the joining documents according to their respective relevant legal and other necessary procedures, including Egypt, Pakistan, and the UAE, that have already announced to join.

In a joint statement, the Foreign Ministers said: “The ministers reiterate their countries’ support for the peace efforts led by President Trump, and reaffirm their countries’ commitment to supporting the implementation of the mission of the Board of Peace as a transitional administration, as set out in the Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict and endorsed by United Nations Security Council Resolution 2803, aimed at consolidating a permanent ceasefire, supporting the reconstruction of Gaza, and advancing a just and lasting peace grounded in the Palestinian right to self-determination and statehood in accordance with international law, thereby paving the way for security and stability for all countries and peoples of the region”.
The board originates from President Trump’s 20-point peace plan for Gaza, unveiled last year, which led to a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas that came into force in October.
In mid-November, the United Nations Security Council adopted a resolution that authorised the Board, alongside cooperating states, to help establish an international stabilisation force and support post-war arrangements in Gaza. Under that mandate, the board was intended to oversee temporary governance and reconstruction efforts in the enclave.
