Kazakhstan has agreed to become a founding member of the proposed “Board of Peace” for Gaza launched by U.S. President Donald Trump.
According to Tengri news, Ruslan Zheldibay said President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev confirmed Kazakhstan’s participation in a letter sent to Donald Trump, expressing gratitude for the invitation and reaffirming the country’s commitment to contributing to peace and stability in the Middle East.
Zheldibay said Tokayev was among the first world leaders to receive an official invitation to join the Board of Peace and that Kazakhstan was offered founding member status. He added that the decision was not announced earlier out of diplomatic consideration, noting that it would have been inappropriate to comment publicly before an official announcement by the Trump administration.
Trump has invited the leaders of Argentina, Hungary, Türkiye, Pakistan, Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, and Italy to join the Board of Peace as founding members. Those countries have confirmed receipt of the proposals and agreed to participate. Invitations were also extended to France, Germany, and the United Arab Emirates, though official confirmation from those states has not yet been announced.
Kazakhstan’s participation followed recent diplomatic contacts involving Tokayev, including telephone conversations with Trump, as well as with Mahmoud Abbas and Benjamin Netanyahu.
According to Washington’s plan, the Board of Peace will provide strategic oversight, mobilise international resources, and monitor commitments related to the peaceful development of Gaza. A founding executive board of seven members is expected to be formed, alongside a Gaza Executive Board of 11 members, including four from the founding board, to oversee the work of the new governing structure.
Trump has described the initiative as “the greatest and most prestigious council ever assembled, anywhere, at any time.”
