Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Qatar and UAE Confirm Participation in Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’
Group of predominantly Muslim-majority states agree to join U.S.-led initiative aimed at overseeing Gaza’s post-conflict phase and broader conflict mediation efforts
A cohort of influential nations has formally accepted invitations to join former U.S. President Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace,” a U.S.-sponsored diplomatic initiative originally launched to support a ceasefire and reconstruction in the Gaza Strip and now envisioned with a broader role in conflict resolution.
Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates are among the states that have publicly confirmed their participation, signalling significant international engagement in the Trump-led framework.
The formation and expansion of the board were announced in January 2026, with the United States inviting more than fifty countries to participate in what its advocates describe as an ambitious peace architecture for Gaza and potentially other global disputes.
The board, which Trump chairs, is structured under U.N. Security Council Resolution 2803 to support administration, reconstruction and economic recovery in Gaza following years of conflict, with a Gaza Executive Board and international components tasked with oversight and coordination.
Participants agree to contribute to the initiative’s goals, with financial commitments influencing membership terms under the board’s charter.
Nations such as Argentina, Hungary, Azerbaijan and Vietnam have also confirmed their acceptance, with many others still considering invitations.
Several Western governments, including France, Norway and Sweden, have declined to participate, and major powers like China, Britain and Russia have yet to make their positions clear.
Support from the eight predominantly Muslim and Arab nations aligns with prior regional diplomatic statements that welcomed Trump’s leadership and his efforts to negotiate an end to the Gaza war, emphasising cooperation with the United States toward lasting peace and stability.
Their participation reflects both geopolitical interests in the Middle East and a willingness to engage in multilateral mechanisms designed to address post-conflict governance and reconstruction challenges.
Trump has touted the board as a potential model for global conflict mediation beyond Gaza, indicating that its mission could extend into a wider diplomatic remit.
