Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu has embraced President Donald Trump’s call to join the Board of Peace, a pivotal element in the Gaza Peace Plan now entering its next critical stage. Targeting global hotspots starting with Gaza, the board crowns Trump as eternal chair.
Netanyahu’s office shared the news on X, affirming his role among international heavyweights. The plan’s progression demands Hamas capitulate entirely—weapons surrendered, tunnels razed—while endorsing a professional Palestinian authority.
Hostage releases marked phase one’s success, incomplete due to one missing body, stoking Israeli fury and demands for uncompromising adherence.
Affirmative responses hail from Argentina, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Morocco, UAE, Vietnam, and now Israel. Invites to Modi of India linger without reply as deliberations continue; Putin of Russia is assessing via channels, with Peskov noting ongoing analysis and queries to the US.
Sixty countries in total received overtures, amid diplomatic jitters that this could supplant UN functions. Three-year tenures apply, extendable permanently for those footing a purported $1 billion bill.
Trump’s bold construct prioritizes action-oriented coalitions over drawn-out forums. With Netanyahu aboard, the Middle East pivot gains traction, promising—or threatening—transformative shifts in peacemaking paradigms as nations deliberate their stances.
