Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that he has agreed to join President Trump’s Board of Peace, reversing earlier objections from his office over the composition of the board’s executive committee, which it said was not coordinated with Israel and “is contrary to its policy,” particularly due to the inclusion of Turkey; the Trump-chaired body was initially framed as a limited group overseeing the Gaza ceasefire but has since expanded in scope, with Trump suggesting it could broker global conflicts and even hinting it “might” replace the United Nations, a claim that has drawn criticism from international leaders, while Trump added that the U.N. “hasn’t been very helpful” but should continue “because the potential is so great.”
