Trump Invites Australia, Vietnam and Thailand to Join New ‘Board of Peace’ for Gaza Reconstruction
U.S. President Donald Trump extends invitations to key Indo-Pacific partners to participate in a global peace initiative following the Gaza ceasefire plan
The United States has formally invited Australia, Vietnam and Thailand to join a newly established international “Board of Peace,” U.S. President Donald Trump announced as part of a broader initiative to guide post-conflict governance and reconstruction in the Gaza Strip.
The board, created under the framework of the Gaza ceasefire plan and endorsed by the United Nations Security Council, is envisioned as a high-level body of world leaders and will be chaired by Trump himself, with a remit to promote stability and long-term recovery in the war-torn territory.
Trump’s outreach reflects an effort to broaden international participation in the next phase of peacebuilding following the fragile ceasefire that came into effect in October twenty twenty-five.
Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese confirmed receipt of the invitation, noting that it had arrived recently and would be assessed through standard government processes.
Thailand’s foreign ministry similarly acknowledged receiving formal correspondence from President Trump outlining the Gaza peace initiative and said the proposal was under review.
Vietnam has already indicated its acceptance, with its leadership agreeing to participate as a founding member of the board.
In addition to the Indo-Pacific invitations, several other governments have been approached to join the body.
Hungary and India have confirmed their participation, while a wider group of countries including Canada, Egypt, Jordan, Greece and Pakistan are reported to be considering the offer.
U.S. officials expect to announce the final composition of the board during the upcoming World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, where its inaugural session may also be held.
The Board of Peace is designed to operate alongside transitional administrative arrangements in Gaza, including a Palestinian technocratic body responsible for day-to-day governance and an international security presence intended to support long-term stability.
Participation may involve financial contributions toward reconstruction, with different tiers of membership envisaged.
The initiative forms a central element of Trump’s broader diplomatic vision for ending the Gaza conflict and establishing a durable framework for peace and redevelopment.
