Eight Islamic Nations Join Trump’s Gaza Peace Board
Eight Muslim-majority countries have agreed to join U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposed “Board of Peace” aimed at supporting a ceasefire and political resolution in Gaza. The countries are Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.
What The Board Is About
The Board of Peace is part of a broader diplomatic initiative proposed by the United States to facilitate dialogue, support ceasefire arrangements, and assist in post-conflict stabilisation and reconstruction efforts in Gaza. Participating nations are expected to play advisory and diplomatic roles rather than military ones.
Why It Matters
The participation of key Islamic nations gives the initiative regional and political weight, especially as several of these countries maintain influence over mediation channels in the Middle East. Their involvement is seen as an attempt to bring wider international legitimacy to ongoing peace efforts amid continued instability in Gaza.
What Comes Next
Each country is expected to complete its internal approval process before formally joining the board. Further details on the structure, mandate, and timeline of the Board of Peace are expected to be outlined in the coming weeks.
