Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar is set to attend U.S. President Donald Trump’s first formal Board of Peace meeting on February 19 in Washington, according to two Israeli officials. The high-level summit is expected to focus on the future of Gaza, including a multi-billion dollar reconstruction plan and the deployment of a U.N.-authorized international stabilization force.
U.S. officials have indicated that President Trump will outline an extensive Gaza reconstruction initiative aimed at rebuilding the Palestinian enclave after two years of devastating conflict. The proposal reportedly includes the creation of an International Stabilization Force, with several countries prepared to contribute thousands of troops to help maintain security as Israeli forces continue their phased withdrawal.
The Board of Peace was established following endorsement by a United Nations Security Council resolution as part of Trump’s broader strategy to end the Gaza war. Delegations from at least 20 countries are expected to participate, including regional powers such as Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Indonesia. However, some traditional Western allies and major global powers have taken a more cautious approach toward the initiative.
The Gaza ceasefire, brokered under Trump’s plan last year, took effect in October after Israel and Hamas agreed to halt hostilities. Despite the truce, sporadic violence has persisted, resulting in the deaths of more than 590 Palestinians—many of them civilians—and four Israeli soldiers. Both Israel and Hamas have accused each other of violating the ceasefire terms.
A central element of the peace framework is Hamas’ disarmament. While the militant group has resisted calls to lay down its weapons, Israeli officials have warned that failure to disarm peacefully could prompt military action. The upcoming Washington meeting is expected to shape the next phase of Gaza’s stabilization and long-term recovery efforts.
