Overview
- The board is expected to be chaired by Trump and include roughly 15 world leaders overseeing a Palestinian technocratic government and reconstruction, according to Axios.
- Invitations are being sent to prospective members, with the U.K., Germany, France, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt and Turkey among those expected, sources said.
- Former UN Middle East envoy Nikolay Mladenov is slated to serve as the on‑the‑ground representative and is in Israel for meetings with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of the announcement.
- The rollout is tied to phase two of the October ceasefire, which reporting says envisions Israeli troop withdrawals, an international stabilization force and new management bodies.
- U.S. officials cautioned the plan could still shift and the White House declined to comment, with the first board meeting possibly taking place in Davos later this month.
