At least six more more countries say the United States has invited them to join U.S. President Donald Trump’s new “Board of Peace" overseeing next steps for Gaza. A U.S. official confirms that a $1 billion contribution secures permanent membership, while a three-year appointment requires no contribution. India, Hungary, Jordan, Greece, Cyprus and Pakistan are the latest to say they have received invitations, joining others like Canada and Turkey. The official member list is expected in the coming days. The board of world leaders could rival the United Nations, whose clout has been diminished by funding cuts by the Trump administration and other donors.
