Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reversed course to join a U.S.-led international peace initiative for Gaza, marking a dramatic policy shift this week. The move comes just days after his office criticized the board's formation as "uncoordinated" and contradictory to Israeli interests.
From Skepticism to Participation
Netanyahu confirmed Wednesday he accepted President Trump's invitation to the "board of peace," though details remain scarce. The platform – initially pitched as overseeing Gaza's reconstruction – now appears set to address broader regional stability issues. 🕊️
Global Reactions Mixed
While Israel's participation adds weight to the initiative, Italy has reportedly declined to join. Only a handful of world leaders have accepted invitations without reservations, leaving the board's operational capacity unclear.
What's Next?
Analysts suggest the board could test strained U.S.-Israel relations while attempting to address Gaza's humanitarian crisis. With Netanyahu's abrupt reversal raising eyebrows, all eyes are on whether this digital-era diplomacy push can deliver tangible results. 🔍
