Israel and Azerbaijan have accepted US President Donald Trump’s invitation to join his Board of Peace that was originally envisioned as a small group of global leaders overseeing the Gaza ceasefire plan.

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Wednesday said he has agreed to join the board, after his office earlier criticised constitution of the board’s executive committee that included Turkey, a regional rival.

Azerbaijan said it has greed to Trump’s “Board of Peace”, with the country’s foreign ministry stating: “Azerbaijan, as always, is ready ‌to actively contribute to international cooperation, peace, and stability.”

Armenia, with which Azerbaijan was at war for nearly four decades over the mountainous region ‌of Nagorno-Karabakh, before a US-brokered peace agreement last August, has also joined the Trump-led peace board.

On Sunday, India received an invitation to join the Donald Trump-led Board of Peace, meant to guide the peace process in Gaza. In a letter dated January 16, Trump wrote to Modi: “It is my great honour to invite you, as Prime Minister of the Republic of India, to join me in a critically historic and magnificent effort to solidify peace in the Middle East, and at the same time to embark on a bold new approach in resolving global conflict.”

Delhi is now weighing the pros and cons of the invite which was also part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s conversation with visiting UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. India has so far been extremely cautious in its stance on the conflict in the Middle East, where it has critical interests pertaining to energy security and nine million Indian diaspora. Trump’s invitation has posed many challenges and factors to consider — consequences of refusal, whether it challenges UN’s primacy, scope of the board’s charter, response of other key countries and partners, risk of being excluded while Pakistan is at the table and reliability of Trump on his staying power.
