Diplomatic buzz intensifies as the Kremlin discloses U.S. President Donald Trump’s invitation to Vladimir Putin for the ‘Board of Peace,’ a pivotal group tackling Gaza’s future. Russia plans to engage Washington soon for deeper insights into the ambitious setup.
Kremlin aide Dmitry Peskov shared the news with media outlets. ‘President Putin was offered a spot on the Board of Peace through proper diplomatic routes. We’re reviewing every angle,’ Peskov explained, citing TASS. Russia anticipates U.S. responses to key questions.
Timed with phase two of the Gaza accord—phase one sealed in October 2025 via Egypt-Qatar-U.S.-Turkey talks—the board promises high-stakes oversight. Russia, sidelined by the West since Ukraine, finds an unlikely entry point.
Trump will lead this umbrella body indefinitely, drawing presidents worldwide, including India’s. Per Reuters’ access to documents, it kicks off with Gaza, then broadens. Three-year member terms apply, permanent ones tied to a purported $1 billion pledge.
The plan draws flak from envoys fearing UN erosion. Yet, it spotlights Trump’s vision for privatized peace, potentially altering global conflict resolution amid fragile truces.
