U.S. President Donald Trump has invited Jordan’s King Abdullah II to join a newly formed Gaza Peace Council, as part of Washington’s efforts to shape the post-war governance and reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, according to Jordanian officials.
Jordan’s Foreign Ministry said the invitation is under consideration and will be reviewed in line with the kingdom’s constitutional and legal procedures. The ministry noted Jordan’s continued engagement with international initiatives aimed at ending the conflict and restoring stability in Gaza.
The Peace Council is a key element of a U.S.-backed plan intended to oversee the transition phase in Gaza following the ceasefire, focusing on reconstruction, security arrangements, and political coordination with regional and international partners. President Trump is expected to chair the council, which includes U.S. officials and international figures.
Jordan’s potential participation comes amid wider regional consultations on Gaza’s future administration and rebuilding. Amman has consistently stressed the need for any post-war arrangements to respect Palestinian rights, ensure humanitarian access, and preserve the prospects of a two-state solution.
The invitation highlights Jordan’s central diplomatic role in Middle East affairs, particularly given its close ties to the Palestinian issue and its longstanding involvement in regional peace efforts. A formal response from Jordan is expected in the coming period as consultations continue.
