At least seven countries have publicly confirmed they have received invitations from President Donald Trump to be part of the U.S.-led Board of Peace for Gaza, which will oversee the reconstruction of the enclave.

The Board of Peace, to be chaired by Trump, is part of phase two of a U.S.-backed cease-fire agreement between Israel and the terrorist group Hamas to end the war in Gaza.
