Saudi ministers welcome next phase of Gaza plan, Trump’s Board of Peace
RIYADH — Saudi Arabia has officially welcomed the next phase of the Gaza peace plan, including the formation of U.S. President Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace”, underscoring Riyadh’s commitment to a ceasefire, humanitarian aid, and political stability in the war‑torn Gaza Strip.
At a Cabinet session chaired by King Salman, Saudi ministers reaffirmed support for the plan’s second phase, which calls for Palestinian governance in Gaza, coordinated reconstruction efforts, and the return of the Palestinian Authority. The government also reiterated its commitment to the two‑state solution and urged international collaboration for lasting peace.

The announcement follows broader diplomatic developments: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accepted an invitation to join the board, while the UAE also expressed readiness to participate. The board aims to coordinate regional and international efforts to stabilize Gaza and facilitate post-conflict recovery.
While Saudi Arabia and some regional allies have embraced the initiative, other nations, including France, have expressed caution, questioning the board’s mandate relative to the United Nations’ role in mediating peace. Despite these differing reactions, Riyadh’s endorsement signals a push for structured diplomacy and practical support for Palestinian civilians amid ongoing conflict.
The Saudi position highlights its effort to balance regional stability, humanitarian concerns, and long-term advocacy for Palestinian sovereignty, aligning with the Arab Peace Initiative and broader international law.
