ShareIsrael has been asked to join U.S. President Donald Trump’s new Board of Peace that will supervise the next phase of the Gaza peace plan, an Israeli official said Monday, while France is holding off accepting for now. It’s not known whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accepted the offer, said the Israeli official who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were discussing a behind-the-scenes diplomatic matter. Also unknown is Israel’s potential role on a board in charge of implementing the ceasefire agreement that directly involves them. France, though, does not plan to join the Board of Peace “at this stage” despite receiving an invitation, a French official close to President Emmanuel Macron said Monday. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Monday the United Kingdom is talking to allies about the Board of Peace.
