Saudi Arabia and seven other countries have agreed to join a proposed Board of Peace on Gaza following an invitation from United States President Donald J. Trump, according to a joint statement issued by their foreign ministers.
The announcement was made by the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, Egypt, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. They said their governments had reached a collective decision to participate in the initiative and would formalise their membership by signing the required documents in line with their respective legal and procedural processes.
Egypt, Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates were identified as countries that have already publicly confirmed their decision to join the board.
Explaining their position, the ministers reiterated their support for the peace efforts spearheaded by President Trump and reaffirmed their commitment to implementing the mandate of the Board of Peace as a transitional administration. The initiative forms part of the Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict, which has been endorsed by United Nations Security Council Resolution 2803.
They said the plan is aimed at consolidating a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, supporting post-war reconstruction, and advancing a just and lasting peace. According to the statement, the framework is grounded in the Palestinian right to self-determination and statehood in line with international law, with the broader goal of ensuring long-term security and stability for all countries and peoples in the region.
