Israel objects to US announcement of Gaza advisory panel members

The White House announced the formation of a Gaza advisory panel, often referred to as a 'Board of Peace,' and named its initial members. The panel reportedly includes representatives from Turkey and Qatar.

Israeli officials strongly objected to the US making this announcement and to the reported composition of the panel. Some Israeli cabinet members and military officials argued that the plan, associated with figures from the previous US administration, could strengthen Hamas and undermine Israel's security.
