Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan and others have joined U.S. President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace to support a unified initiative for Gaza conflict resolution.
RIYADH: In a major diplomatic development, seven Muslim-majority countries including Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan and Qatar have accepted invitations to join the Board of Peace, a new international initiative launched by U.S. President Donald Trump. The announcement came in a joint statement issued by the Saudi foreign ministry, welcoming the shared decision of regional foreign ministers.
The Board of Peace is part of a broader multilateral effort to support conflict resolution in Gaza. According to official statements, the body aims to consolidate the ceasefire, coordinate humanitarian aid and support long-term reconstruction in the region. The seven nations confirmed that they will complete their internal accession procedures and collaborate through this platform to support sustainable peace.
The United Arab Emirates has also joined the initiative, reaffirming the UAE’s ongoing commitment to humanitarian diplomacy and regional stabilisation. Together, these countries are expected to serve on the body that will be chaired by former U.S. President Donald Trump, under the framework of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2803.
Turkey’s foreign ministry stated that the Board of Peace will help “strengthen multilateral peacebuilding mechanisms and provide a foundation for post-conflict coordination.” Similar sentiments were echoed by officials from Egypt and Pakistan, who emphasised the importance of inclusive regional dialogue and cooperation.
The Board has attracted interest from more than 30 countries so far, including participants from Europe, Asia, and Africa. It has been positioned as a neutral, transitional mechanism aimed at advancing humanitarian response and governance coordination in Gaza, with discussions potentially expanding to other regional peace efforts in the future.
