The US plans to convene the first formal meeting of President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace in Washington on Feb. 19, according to a US official.

The board was a core element of Trump’s 20-point plan that helped broker a ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas in October. Trump led the initial gathering of the group’s members –- about 20 nations including Belarus, Azerbaijan and Hungary — in Davos, Switzerland, in January, on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum.
