U.S. President Donald Trump has invited Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to join the Board of Peace for Gaza, Tengrinews reported, citing presidential spokesman Ruslan Zheldibay.
According to him, Tokayev was among the first leaders to receive the invitation, with Kazakhstan offered the status of a founding member of the new body.
In response, Tokayev reportedly sent a letter to Trump expressing gratitude and confirming Kazakhstan’s readiness to participate, emphasizing the country’s commitment to contributing to lasting peace in the Middle East.
Trump announced the creation of the Board of Peace for Gaza on January 16, 2026, as part of his broader peace plan for Gaza, which also provides for the deployment of international forces.
The Board’s executive committee includes seven members, among them U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, and former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Bloomberg previously reported that countries seeking permanent membership are required to contribute at least $1 billion.
Under the draft charter, Donald Trump will serve as the Board’s first chair, with authority to determine its membership and approve or veto decisions.
