Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday in a statement that he will join U.S. President Donald Trump’s controversial Board of Peace, which is tasked with overseeing the ceasefire and reconstruction in Gaza.

Netanyahu is the latest leader to confirm his participation in the body, which Trump formally established last week as part of his 20-point plan to end the war between Israel and Hamas.

The board — described by Trump as “the Greatest and Most Prestigious Board ever assembled at any time, any place” — currently includes a motley mix of countries, among them the United Arab Emirates, Belarus, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Canada and Vietnam.
