Trump Invites Erdogan, Sisi to Join Gaza Peace Board
US President Donald Trump has invited Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi to join a proposed international body aimed at overseeing post-conflict governance and reconstruction in Gaza. The move is part of Washington’s broader diplomatic push to shape a transitional framework for the territory following the ongoing conflict.
Role of the Proposed Board
The proposed “Gaza Peace Board” is intended to guide political stabilisation, humanitarian coordination, and reconstruction efforts once hostilities subside. The board would work alongside regional and international stakeholders to support civil administration and long-term recovery in Gaza.
Regional Diplomacy Angle
Turkey and Egypt have both played significant roles in mediation efforts related to Gaza, including ceasefire negotiations and humanitarian access. Trump’s outreach reflects an attempt to bring key regional powers into a structured mechanism for post-war management. Officials in Ankara and Cairo have acknowledged receiving the request and are said to be evaluating their participation.
Broader Context
The proposal comes amid continuing international debate over Gaza’s future governance and security arrangements. While details of the board’s authority and composition remain unclear, the initiative signals renewed diplomatic engagement by the US to influence the post-conflict roadmap.
