President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace is hosting its first meeting in Washington on Feb. 19, featuring attendees representing nearly 50 nations and the European Union among the member states collaborating on the U.S.-backed effort to rebuild the Gaza Strip.

Taking place at the recently renamed U.S. Institute of Peace, it will be the group’s first official meeting after officials from two dozen of the board’s founding member states gathered onstage with Trump at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, last month.
