The board, which some fear could undermine the United Nations, was originally proposed to oversee the rebuilding of the Gaza Strip as part of a deal to rebuild the devastated territory following the war between Israel and Hamas, which the United States and European Union have designated as a terrorist organization. The board's charter, however, does not limit its role to Gaza.

The plan has received widespread international backing, and Mr Trump told reporters on Monday that he thought there was a "really good chance" of a lasting deal. "This is beyond Gaza," he said. "Gaza is a big deal, but this is really peace in the Middle East." Egypt's foreign minister Badr Abdelatty told journalists that members of the US delegation would join the talks on Wednesday.
