Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has been invited by US President Donald Trump to join a board to supervise post-war Gaza, an offer he intends to accept, a senior aide told AFP on Saturday.

Trump has declared himself the chair of a Gaza “Board of Peace.” He has so far tapped former UK prime minister Tony Blair and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to fill senior roles, and asked the leaders of Egypt, Turkey and Argentina to take part.

The senior Canadian government official did not provide further details
