Earlier, on February 7, 2026, Axios reported that the White House was planning the first leaders’ meeting for President Trump’s Gaza Board of Peace on February 19. The report noted that planning remained in its early stages.
Axios also stated that the meeting could double as a fundraising conference for Gaza reconstruction. However, officials acknowledged that plans could still change.
According to the report, the meeting is scheduled at the U.S. Institute of Peace in Washington. It also noted that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to meet President Trump at the White House on February 18.
At the time of the report, the White House and the U.S. State Department declined to comment on the plans. Despite this, diplomatic engagement around the initiative continues to draw attention.
