Strip, stressing the need to secure a \u201cpermanent ceasefire\u201d in the bombarded Palestinian enclave.<\/p>\n<p>The foreign ministers of Pakistan, Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Turkiye, Saudi Arabia and Qatar said they would be joining the Trump-led board in a joint statement on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<section class=\"more-on\">\n<h2

list<\/span><\/section>\n<p>\u201cThe Ministers reiterate their countries\u2019 support for the peace efforts led by President Trump,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n<p>It added that the board\u2019s mission is aimed at \u201cconsolidating a permanent ceasefire, supporting the reconstruction of Gaza, and advancing a just and lasting peace grounded in the Palestinian right to self-determination and statehood in accordance with international law, thereby paving the way for security and stability for all countries and peoples of the region\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Kuwait\u2019s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said later on Wednesday that it also had accepted Trump\u2019s invitation to join the board.<\/p>\n<p>The announcements come just days after the White House unveiled the makeup of the board of peace, which is part of Trump\u2019s 20-point plan to end Israel\u2019s genocidal war against Palestinians in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>The board, which includes senior Trump advisers Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, as well as former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, will oversee a Palestinian technocratic committee tasked with managing day-to-day affairs in the Strip.<\/p>\n<p>Palestinians in Gaza, who continue to face deadly Israeli military attacks and restrictions on humanitarian aid, have questioned how the US-led mechanisms will function in practice.<\/p>\n<p>Observers have also raised concerns about Trump\u2019s inclusion of several staunch Israel supporters in the board of peace, as well as the participation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, the office of Netanyahu, who faces an International Criminal Court arrest warrant for alleged war crimes committed in Gaza, said he would take part in the mechanism.<\/p>\n<p>Gaza resident Abu Ramzi al-Sandawi rejected Netanyahu, denouncing the Israeli prime minister as \u201cthe leader of the war on Gaza\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe destroyed our whole world,\u201d al-Sandawi told Al Jazeera in Gaza City. \u201cIt\u2019s known that Netanyahu is the cause of this war.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At least 466 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since a US-brokered ceasefire came into effect in October, according to the latest figures from the Palestinian Health Ministry in the territory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Countries say board aims
