The White House is planning the first leaders meeting for President Donald Trump’s so-called “Board of Peace” on Gaza on Feb. 19, Axios reported Friday, citing a U.S. official and diplomats from four participating countries.

Plans for the meeting, which would also serve as a fundraising conference for Gaza’s reconstruction, remain in early stages and could still change, the report said.

The meeting is expected to take place at the U.S. Institute of Peace in Washington. Axios reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to meet Trump at the White House on Feb. 18, one day before the planned gathering.

The White House and the U.S. State Department did not respond to requests for comment.

Trump launched the board in late January, saying it would aim to resolve global conflicts. The initiative has raised concerns among experts who warn it could undermine the United Nations.

Governments worldwide have reacted cautiously to Trump’s invitation to join. While some U.S. allies in the Middle East have agreed to participate, many traditional Western allies have so far declined.

A U.N. Security Council resolution adopted in mid-November authorized the board, along with participating countries, to establish an international stabilization force in Gaza, where a fragile ceasefire began in October under a Trump-backed plan accepted by Israel and the militant group Hamas.

Under the Gaza plan Trump unveiled late last year, the board was tasked with supervising Gaza’s temporary governance. Trump later said its mandate would be expanded to address conflicts globally.

Human rights experts have criticized the idea of Trump overseeing a body supervising a foreign territory, saying it resembles a colonial structure and noting the absence of Palestinian representation.

The Gaza ceasefire has been repeatedly violated, with more than 550 Palestinians and four Israeli soldiers reported killed since it began in October.

Israel’s offensive in Gaza since late 2023 has killed more than 71,000 Palestinians, triggered a hunger crisis and displaced the entire population, according to health authorities.

Numerous rights experts, academics, and a U.N. inquiry say the campaign amounts to genocide, a charge Israel rejects, saying it is acting in self-defense after Hamas-led militants killed 1,200 people and took more than 250 hostages in a 2023 attack.
