President Donald Trump is expected to hold a formal signing ceremony to constitute his highly anticipated Gaza Board of Peace as early as Thursday while he attends the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, according to a copy of the invitation circulating online, as allies openly question if they will even join the board.
ABC News has reached out to the White House.
Trump announced on Friday the Gaza Board of Peace that would oversee the rebuilding and reconstruction of the devastated Gaza Strip. But the charter draft circulated online makes no direct mention of the region, leading to a muted, cautious reaction from government officials who believe Trump’s board may have loftier ambitions.
Trump, who is to chair the board, said in a post on Truth Social last week that it will be “the Greatest and Most Prestigious Board ever assembled at any time, any place,” though details about it remain vague.

Several countries have said they received invitations to join the board in recent days, including Argentina, Belarus, Canada, Australia, Egypt, Hungary, Pakistan, Jordan, Turkey, Israel and India — though the countries’ respective leaders largely appear reluctant to make public statements of explicit endorsement.
The Kremlin on Monday said that Russian President Vladimir Putin had also received an invitation.
“Moscow is studying all the details of the proposal and hopes to contact Washington to clarify all the nuances,” spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
The U.S. is expected to announce its official list of members in the coming days.
