King of Jordan Asked to Join Trump's "Gaza Board of Peace"

U.S. President Donald Trump has invited Jordan's King Abdullah II to join a proposed "Board of Peace." This board is a key part of the second phase of the U.S. administration's ceasefire plan for Gaza. The invitation was confirmed by Jordanian officials. The "Board of Peace" would oversee the implementation of a lasting truce and reconstruction efforts. The role of the board, and who else would serve on it, remains unclear. Jordan is a major U.S. ally in the region and a critical player in Middle East diplomacy. The kingdom also holds custodianship over Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem, a status important to any discussion of Gaza's future. The invitation comes as international efforts continue to seek a durable end to the Gaza conflict. The first phase of the U.S. plan involves an immediate ceasefire and hostage release.
