Of these, 35 countries have so far expressed interest in participation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At present, 26 countries have formally joined the board and have been designated as founding members of the initiative.However, the initiative has also faced resistance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At least 14 countries have declined the invitation outright, while several others have reportedly delayed their decision, despite receiving formal invitations from Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Diplomatic sources indicate that representatives attending Thursday\u2019s meeting will deliberate on funding mechanisms, logistical coordination, and political oversight for Gaza\u2019s reconstruction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The discussions are expected to include proposals for long-term international involvement in rebuilding infrastructure and managing post-war recovery efforts in the besieged enclave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The launch of the Board of Peace reflects a broader U.S.-led effort to shape post-war arrangements for Gaza, even as the conflict continues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Critics argue that any reconstruction plan remains deeply controversial in the absence of a ceasefire and accountability for the destruction caused during the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further details regarding financial commitments, governance structures, and the future role of participating countries are expected to emerge following the conclusion of the inaugural meeting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington (Monitoring Desk): U.S. President Donald Trump will host the inaugural meeting of his newly formed
