Israeli fire killed 11 Palestinians, including two boys and three journalists, in Gaza on Wednesday, local medics said, and the Israeli military said it had "eliminated" a Palestinian militant who posed a threat to soldiers.

In the latest violence disrupting a brittle, three-month-old ceasefire, Palestinian health officials said an Israeli airstrike killed three Palestinian journalists travelling in a car in the central Gaza Strip.

The three were on an assignment sponsored by the Egyptian Committee, which supervises Egypt's relief work in Gaza, to film tent encampments built by Egypt for displaced Palestinians, other local journalists told Reuters.

An Egyptian security source confirmed the vehicle belonged to the committee but gave no further details. The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Israel and Hamas have traded blame for multiple breaches of the October truce after two years of war that devastated Gaza and caused a humanitarian disaster, and remain at odds over the next steps in U.S. President Donald Trump's 20-point peace plan.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accepted an invitation to join US President Donald Trump's "Board of Peace", Netanyahu's office said Wednesday.

"Prime Minister Netanyahu announced that he has accepted US President Donald Trump's invitation and will join as a member of the Board of Peace, which will be composed of leaders of the world," the office said in a statement.

The board was originally conceived to oversee the rebuilding of post-war Gaza, but its charter, as seen by AFP, does not appear to limit its role to the Palestinian territory, and members have to pay up to $1 billion for a permanent spot on it.

US President Donald Trump said "you got to let the UN continue" when asked about his plans for a so-called "Board of Peace" that has alarmed international experts.

Governments around the world have reacted cautiously to Trump's invitation to join that initiative that the US president says aims to resolve conflicts globally, a plan that diplomats said could harm the work of the United Nations.

"Might," Trump said when asked by a reporter if he wanted the "Board of Peace to replace the UN."

"The UN just hasn't been very helpful. I am a big fan of the UN potential but it has never lived up to its potential," Trump said in a briefing.

"I believe you got to let the UN continue because the potential is so great," he added.
