The US president is pushing for the board to preserve a fragile ceasefire between Hamas and Israel and progress the peace deal to the next phase.

In short:

US President Donald Trump has asked Australia and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to join his ‘Board of Peace’ that would aim to progress the Gaza ceasefire agreement.

Dozens of countries and leaders have been invited, according to a list first reported by Bloomberg.

What’s next?

If Australia joins, it will be a member for at least three years and would need to pay $US1 billion to remain on the Board of Peace beyond that.
