France ‌has explained why it’s not joining Donald ​Trump’s Board of Peace ⁠for now.

The body’s charter does not ​correspond with ​a UN resolution to ‍resolve the war in Gaza, said Pascal Confavreux, a spokesperson of France’s foreign ministry.

Some elements of the ‌charter were also contrary to ‌the UN charter, he added. 

The statement echoed comments made by a source close to Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday, who had also said that France did “not intend to answer favourably” to Trump’s invitation to join the board.

In our Board of Peace explainer below, we have summed up who has joined it so far and who said no.

Who is going to be on the Board of Peace?

Around 60 nations have been invited to join the Board of Peace, with some 35 agreeing to join so far, a senior Trump administration official said.

“We have a lot of great people that want to join,” Mr Trump on Wednesday as he stood next to Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el Sissi.

“It’s going to be the most prestigious board ever formed.”

Those signed up include Middle East allies such as Israel, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar and Egypt.

Others include NATO members Turkey and Hungary, whose leaders have good ties with Mr Trump; as well as Armenia and Azerbaijan, which reached a US-brokered peace agreement last year.

Morocco, Pakistan, Indonesia, Kosovo, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Paraguay, and Vietnam have also agreed to take part.

More controversially, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has accepted an invitation.
