Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed for Israel to join a new international group proposed by former U.S. President Donald Trump. The announcement makes Israel the sixth nation to accept Trump's invitation.
The group is called the "Board of Peace." Its exact purpose, rules, and powers are not yet defined. Trump announced the idea last month, stating it would include nations that "support peace and are willing to confront aggression."
So far, Albania, Bahrain, Hungary, Morocco, and the United Arab Emirates have also agreed to join. Many of these countries normalized relations with Israel under agreements facilitated by the Trump administration.
Political analysts note the board's membership aligns closely with Trump's foreign policy alliances. There has been no official reaction from the current U.S. administration under President Joe Biden.
The development raises immediate questions. Without a clear structure or the backing of the current White House, the board's ability to influence global diplomacy remains uncertain. Observers will be watching for its first meeting or stated objectives.
