A number of world leaders are weighing whether to join President Trump’s new so-called Board of Peace.

That includes Russian President Vladimir Putin, with the Kremlin saying it’s "studying the details of the offer." The European Commission says that President Ursula von der Leyen was invited, but no word on whether she’s accepted.

Additionally, there are reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was among those invited. That is significant, because President Trump says the board will be tasked with overseeing the next phase of the Gaza peace plan.

U.S. officials reportedly plan to charge $1 billion for those wanting a permanent seat on the board. Last week, the White House announced the seven members of what it’s calling the founding executive board, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
