Washington(The COW News Digital)Morocco’s King has accepted an invitation from former US President Donald Trump to become a founding member of a newly proposed Gaza Peace Board, a move that has drawn international attention amid ongoing efforts to stabilize the Middle East.
According to a statement issued by Morocco’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the King agreed to join the board as a founding member, underscoring Morocco’s stated commitment to supporting peace initiatives in the region. The board is aimed at encouraging dialogue, reconstruction, and long-term stability in Gaza and the wider Middle East.
The ministry said the proposed peace board will consist of a limited number of influential international leaders who have demonstrated a sustained commitment to regional peace, security, and economic development. The initiative is expected to focus on diplomatic engagement, humanitarian support, and frameworks for long-term prosperity.

In its statement, the Moroccan government emphasized that the Kingdom will formally endorse the board’s constitutional charter, signaling institutional backing for the initiative rather than symbolic participation alone. Officials reiterated Morocco’s long-standing position in favor of a comprehensive, just, and lasting peace in the Middle East, based on dialogue and mutual respect.
Morocco has historically positioned itself as a moderate voice in regional and international diplomacy, maintaining relations with Western powers while also expressing consistent support for Palestinian rights and regional stability. Analysts suggest that the King’s acceptance of the invitation reflects Morocco’s desire to play a constructive role in high-level diplomatic efforts, particularly at a time when Gaza remains at the center of global concern.
While details of the Gaza Peace Board’s structure and mandate remain limited, diplomatic sources say its founding members are expected to include leaders with experience in mediation, governance, and international cooperation. Supporters of the initiative argue that involving a diverse group of global actors could help bridge political divides and create momentum for meaningful engagement.
Critics, however, caution that any new peace mechanism will face significant challenges, given the complexity of the conflict and deep-rooted political divisions. They stress that success will depend on transparency, inclusivity, and coordination with existing international frameworks.
The Moroccan Foreign Ministry reaffirmed that participation in the board aligns with the Kingdom’s broader foreign policy objectives, which prioritize conflict resolution, regional cooperation, and humanitarian principles. Officials added that Morocco remains committed to working with international partners to support peace efforts that benefit all peoples of the region.
The development marks another chapter in Morocco’s active diplomatic engagement and highlights the continuing global focus on Gaza as international actors search for pathways toward sustainable peace.
