Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Saar will attend U.S. President Donald Trump’s first Board of Peace meeting of leaders in Washington on 19 February, an Israeli official said on Saturday.

The gathering will mark the inaugural leaders’ session of the Board of Peace, an initiative launched earlier this year and aimed at establishing new mechanisms for international cooperation and conflict resolution.

Details of the meeting’s agenda have not been formally announced, but the platform is expected to focus on diplomatic coordination and broader geopolitical challenges.

President Trump introduced the Board of Peace during discussions in Davos last month, presenting it as part of a wider effort to reshape global governance frameworks.

Saar’s participation signals Israel’s engagement with the new initiative, as Washington prepares to host representatives from multiple countries at the first summit.

Further information regarding attending delegations and specific policy priorities is expected in the coming days.
