In response, the White House calls that misleading, saying there's no membership fee.
The board, which was first outlined by the White House on Friday, is meant to oversee Gaza's temporary governance.
Its early members include Trump's Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Envoy Steve Witkoff, former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, who's the former senior White House advisor, with more names expected to be announced.

The Sagrada Familia has hit another milestone.
This time, it's completing the horizontal arms of the cross of its Tower of Christ, the tallest of the basilica's 18 towers.
Construction started back in 1882, and it hasn't stopped since architect Antoni Gaudi's death in 1926.
Fast forward to last year, the basilica finally topped the charts as the tallest church in the world.
Today, the work blends modern engineering with Gaudi's original vision, metal supports on the inside and geometric textures outside.
The Sagrada Familia Foundation says the Tower of Christ should be finished later this year.
And once they do, it'll become the tallest building in Barcelona.
