Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday that he has accepted an invitation from U.S. President Donald Trump to join the board of peace for Gaza.

In a statement, Mr Netanyahu said he had agreed to serve on the board, which he said would be composed of world leaders.

No further details were provided.

The announcement came days after Mr Netanyahu’s office said Israel opposed the composition of the board, which Mr Trump unveiled as part of his plan to end the Gaza war.

The prime minister’s office said at that time that the board, which Mr Trump introduced as part of his plan to end the Gaza war, had been announced without coordination with Israel and ran counter to Israeli policy.
