Putin invited to join Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ on postwar Gaza, Kremlin says – Firstpost

Russian President Vladimir Putin has been invited to join US President Donald Trump’s proposed “Board of Peace”, which is intended to oversee governance and reconstruction in postwar Gaza, the Kremlin stated on Monday.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that President Putin had received the invitation, adding that Moscow was seeking to “clarify all the nuances” of the proposal with Washington.

The Trump administration has invited political leaders, diplomats and business figures from across the world to join the board, including India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The initiative forms part of a US-backed and UN-supported plan aimed at demilitarising and rebuilding Gaza after two years of war between Israel and Hamas.

According to the White House, the framework would consist of a main board chaired by President Donald Trump, a Palestinian committee of technocrats tasked with governing the war-ravaged territory, and a second “executive board” that appears to be designed to play an advisory role.

Prime Minister Modi received an invitation from President Trump on January 16, according to a letter shared by the US Ambassador to India, Sergio Gor.

“It is my great honour to invite you, as Prime Minister of the Republic of India, to join me in a critically historic and magnificent effort to solidify peace in the Middle East and, at the same time, to embark on a bold latest approach to resolving global conflict,” Trump wrote in the letter.

Modi is among several world leaders invited to join the board, including Brazilian President Lula da Silva, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. It remains unclear whether he has accepted the invitation.
