Jordan’s foreign ministry says that King Abdullah received an invitation from US President Donald Trump to join the so-called Board of Peace for Gaza.

The foreign ministry says it is reviewing related documents within the country’s internal legal procedures.

The board is set to supervise the temporary governance of Gaza, which has been under a shaky ceasefire since October.
