President Donald Trump will gather members of his Board of Peace for an inaugural meeting that will focus on reconstruction and building an international stabilisation force for war-battered Gaza, where a shaky ceasefire deal persists.

Representatives from more than two dozen countries that have joined the Board, as well as several that have opted not to, will meet on Thursday.
