The White House is planning a leaders' meeting for the Board of Peace on Feb 19, U.S. media outlet Axios reported Saturday.
"It will be the first Board of Peace meeting and a fund-raising conference for Gaza reconstruction," an anonymous U.S. official was quoted as saying.
The meeting is planned to be held at the U.S. Institute of Peace, and the Donald Trump administration began reaching out to dozens of countries on Friday to invite their leaders, Axios reported.
The plans for the summit are still in the early stages and could change, Axios said, adding that the White House declined to comment.
Some major global powers and traditional U.S. allies have declined to join the board.
In an interview with Italy's ANSA news agency on Saturday, Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said that Italy "cannot participate" in the U.S.-proposed Board of Peace as its charter conflicts with Italy's Constitution.
The board's charter posed "insurmountable" legal conflicts with Article 11 of the country's Constitution, which precludes Italy from joining organizations unless there are "conditions of equality with other states."
The charter fails to meet constitutional requirements as it names U.S. President Donald Trump as chairman with veto power over some of the body's decisions.
Tajani said Italy is "always available to discuss initiatives concerning peace," and stands ready to play a constructive role on the Gaza issue, including through efforts such as training Palestinian police forces.
Trump formally launched the so-called "Board of Peace" on Jan. 22 at a charter-signing ceremony during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Some observers argue that the United States intends to develop the Board of Peace into an organization parallel to the United Nations, a move that could further undermine the UN's authority and disrupt its working mechanisms.
