Trump Extends Invitation to India for Gaza Peace Board
US President Donald Trump has formally invited India to join a proposed international "Board of Peace". This initiative aims to oversee post-war governance and reconstruction efforts in Gaza. Sources provided this information to ANI.
Key Pillar of Ceasefire Plan
The Board of Peace forms a central component of President Trump's broader Gaza ceasefire strategy. The White House confirms the plan is now taking shape. Several global figures have already agreed to participate.
According to US officials, President Trump himself will chair the board. Its responsibilities will include multiple critical areas:
- Governance capacity-building
- Reconstruction of infrastructure
- Mobilisation of investment
- Regional engagement and diplomacy
High-Profile Members Named
The initial list of participants features prominent international names. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and special envoy Steve Witkoff will serve on the board. Jared Kushner, former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, and World Bank President Ajay Banga are also involved. US financier Marc Rowan completes the current roster.
Additional Supporting Bodies
The White House has outlined two supplementary structures to support the main board. A Palestinian-led National Committee for the Administration of Gaza will consist of technocrats. This committee will focus on restoring essential public services and stabilising daily life for Gaza's residents.
An Executive Board will provide advisory and operational support. It will include representatives from various regional and international entities.
Global Response and Founding Members
Several world leaders have confirmed receiving invitations to become founding members. Nations such as Argentina, Canada, Egypt, and Turkey are among those approached. President Trump has characterised this initiative as a "bold new approach" to resolving global conflicts.
The invitation to India marks a significant diplomatic gesture. It underscores the country's growing role in international peace and reconstruction efforts. The proposed board represents a major attempt to address the complex challenges in Gaza following recent hostilities.
