Israel objects to composition of Trump-led Gaza ‘board of peace’

AI Summary

short article 1 min

Israel has objected to the composition of a Gaza executive board announced this week by the Trump administration, stating the announcement was not coordinated with them and contradicts Israeli policy. Prime Minister Netanyahu's office indicated Foreign Minister Gideon Saar will discuss the issue with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. While the specific point of contention was not specified, it is known that Israel has repeatedly opposed any Turkish involvement in Gaza. The board, intended to help end the war in Gaza, includes Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, alongside figures from the UN, Cyprus, and the United Arab Emirates. This announcement marks the start of the second phase of Trump's plan, initially announced in September, to establish a transitional Palestinian administration in Gaza.
