Netanyahu agrees to join Trump’s Gaza Board of Peace after initial pushback

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday he would join President Donald Trump’s new Board of Peace, after previously criticizing the makeup of its executive committee. Netanyahu confirmed that he would join the newly established Board of Peace, which the Trump administration says will supervise the next phase of the Gaza peace plan. The Israeli prime minister’s announcement comes after he initially pushed back on Trump’s proposal, following the inclusion of Turkey’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and Qatari diplomat Ali Al-Thawadi as appointed members to a separate “Gaza Executive Board.” Netanyahu’s office said that move was not coordinated with Israel and “runs contrary to its policy.” BENJAMIN NETANYAHU PUSHES BACK ON ‘FAKE SPINS’ SUGGESTING TENSION BETWEEN HIM AND TRUMP T
