US President Donald Trump presided in Washington Thursday morning over the first Board of Peace meeting, where officials discussed Phase 2 of his Gaza plan.
More than 40 countries, as well as the European Union, have confirmed their attendance at Thursday’s inaugural meeting, an unnamed senior official in the Trump administration told the Associated Press.
However, more than a dozen—including Germany, Italy, Norway and Switzerland—attended as observers, as they’ve declined Trump’s invitation to join the Board of Peace, according to the official.
Trump said, “This is a big day, and we have a large number of leaders participating in the Board meetings.” He added that peace is very difficult, but “we will achieve it.”
Meanwhile, the Zionist attacks in Gaza Strip claimed the lives of 2 Palestinians and injured four others during the 24 past hours.
