WASHINGTON — Thursday’s inaugural meeting of the Board of Peace in Washington will see over two dozen countries represented, a senior US official tells The Times of Israel.
During the meeting, US President Donald Trump’s administration will provide updates regarding humanitarian assistance for Gaza, the Palestinian technocratic committee slated to replace Hamas in governing the Strip and the International Stabilization Force slated to help secure the Strip.
In addition to the US president, attendees will include Secretary of State Marco Rubio, top Trump aides Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz, former British prime minister Tony Blair and the Board of Peace’s High Representative for Gaza Nickolay Mladenov, the US official says.
Observer status delegations will also be sent from countries that have not joined the Board of Peace, the US official says.
The official also pushes back on the notion that progress on the Board’s efforts in Gaza have stalled.
“We are under no illusions on the challenges regarding demilitarization, but we have been encouraged by what the mediators have reported back,” the US official says.
