The Trump administration is planning a "Peace Board" meeting on February 19 in Washington, according to a US official and a diplomat from a country that was invited.
The US sent out invitations to the event and described the meeting as the "inaugural meeting of the Peace Board," according to an invitation first seen by CNN.
It is scheduled to be held at the US Institute of Peace, which President Donald Trump has renamed after himself.
The US official said the meeting is intended in part to be a fundraiser, but stressed that details are still being worked out.
The meeting, first reported by Axios, will be the first time the group has come together since a signing ceremony at the World Economic Forum in Davos last month.
About two dozen countries have joined the Peace Board.
It is not clear which countries will participate in the February 19 meeting and at what level they will be represented.
The Peace Board has been met with skepticism about its mandate and questions about whether it is seeking to replace the United Nations.
Most of the US's European allies have not agreed to join, and Israel has not officially signed the charter to join the organization despite accepting Trump's offer to join the organization, although Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Israel would do so.
The board, chaired by Trump, was initially presented as a limited body tasked with overseeing the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, which was devastated by a two-year war with Israel.
However, according to the draft charter, its mission has since expanded to address conflicts around the world.
The upcoming meeting comes as the administration is working to advance Phase 2 of its peace plan for Gaza and secure support for its reconstruction. /Telegraph/
