US President Donald Trump invited the leaders of Egypt and Turkiye to join a US-chaired Board of Peace to supervise Gaza's post-war transition and temporary governance after a fragile October ceasefire. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan received a letter proposing founding membership, and Egypt said it was reviewing an invitation for President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. The White House named members including US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, special envoy Steve Witkoff, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, and Jared Kushner. The board will oversee a Palestinian technocratic body during a transitional period. Rights experts warned that board oversight resembles a colonial structure, and Blair's involvement drew criticism over his Iraq war role and British imperial history in the region. The White House did not detail member responsibilities.
