Sir Keir Starmer is expected to accept an offer to sit on Donald Trump's new 'Board of Peace' to run Gaza following October's ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.
As part of his 20-point peace plan for the Middle East, Mr Trump has proposed a new international transitional body to oversee the redevelopment of Gaza.
The US President will head and chair the Board of Peace alongside other world leaders, with Sir Keir reportedly poised to take up an offer to
A senior British official told The Times the group's first meeting is expected to happen next week during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
When the White House first unveiled Mr Trump's 20-point peace plan, there were plans for ex-prime minister Sir Tony Blair to sit on the Board of Peace.
But the former Labour premier is now expected to join a separate 'executive board' following claims Middle Eastern states have objected to full membership for Sir Tony.
During his time in Downing Street, Sir Tony committed British troops to the US invasion of Iraq in 2003.
At the weekend, Mr Trump told reporters that the Board of Peace was in the process of being formed.
'Essentially it's the most important leaders of the most important nations,' the US President told reporters on board Air Force One on Sunday.
'You take the most important leaders and nations, that's who the Board of Peace is going to be. Everybody wants to be on it.'
A Government source said that no formal invite had been extended for Sir Keir to join the Board of Peace.
On Monday night, Sir Keir defended the amount of time he devotes to fffairs as he addressed Labour MPs in Parliament.

Starman couldn’t run a good diarrhea
The dude is totally nuts. There, I said it nice.
Bad idea.
“Board of Peace” sound as tacky as it is Orwellian. But okay...
What would Starmer do? Call for a circle jerk and volunteer to be the pivot man?
Let’s start the new Gaza with no speech, no freedoms, and if possible more islamists.
Good idea.
The UK is just as tyrannical as the mullahs.
Never!
Trading One Leftie for the Other Leftie both men are extreme left-wing moles in mainstream politics read Peter Hitchens for details.
I don’t understand how President Trump’s mind works. He must have an incredible ability to compartmentalize issues and the ability to work with people that smile at him while stabbing him in the back.
I could not do it.
How the hell did Starmer become a Sir?
Who is the brainless royal that gave that filthy Bolshevik a knighthood? For that alone, the British monarchy should be abolished forever. /spit
Someone remind the author of this article that it is PRESIDENT TRUMP. Not Mr. Trump.
Usually politicians get the knighthood after leaving office, but Starmer was Director of Crown Prosecutions (Head of the Crown Prosecution Service) before going into politics. He only went into politics 10 years ago.
Oh good grief - THAT IS ONE SURE WAY TO LOSE THE PEACE !
I have a feeling the Board of Peace is going to be run by America and those on the board will mostly be figure heads. And that’s as it should be.
Trump will set the agenda. For those members who can offer constructive advice, they’ll be listened to. Those who intend to interfere will be ignored, and they likely understand that going in.
Keir Starmer and others of his ilk are being given the political gift of looking important. In return, they offer the Board a stamp of legitimacy to present to its critics because it has broad support and participation from many countries.
It’s a good deal for people like Starmer. He gets to look relevant in exchange for rubber stamping anything that’s agreed upon.
No way in H3LL!
Talk about putting the cart in front of the horse. Hamas is still fully armed and have been rebuilding their tunnel system every day for months.
