In January 2026, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accepted an invitation from U.S. President Donald Trump to join the "board of peace," an initiative overseeing governance, reconstruction, and investment in Gaza following a ceasefire agreement with Hamas. The board, unveiled as part of phase two of the ceasefire agreement with Hamas to end Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza. This decision comes despite the International Criminal Court (ICC) having issued a warrant for Netanyahu's arrest for alleged war crimes in Gaza. Concerns have been raised about the board's objectivity due to Trump's leadership and control over its members, as well as Netanyahu's inclusion. Russian President Vladimir Putin, also wanted by the ICC, was invited as well.
