Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to join U.S. President Donald Trump's Board of Peace, despite earlier Israeli criticism of the board's executive committee which includes regional rival Turkey. The board, initially intended to oversee the Gaza ceasefire, has expanded to address global conflicts, with invitations extended to numerous nations. While countries like the UAE, Morocco, and others have joined, the UK, Russia, and the EU have yet to respond. Trump's vision for the board has sparked controversy, with some viewing it as a potential replacement for the United Nations, which Trump has criticized. The French Foreign Minister has voiced support for Trump's peace plan but opposes creating an organization to replace the UN. Trump is expected to provide more details about the board at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
