The body proposed by the US president is intended to manage Gaza following the Hamas-Israel war
Russia has been invited to sit on a new 'Peace Board' proposed by US President Donald Trump and meant to steer post-war governance and reconstruction in Gaza, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.
Trump proposed the board late last year following a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. The initiative envisages an international council overseeing reconstruction funding, security arrangements, and political coordination in Gaza, working alongside a Palestinian technocratic administration during a transitional period. The White House has said the body could later be expanded to address other conflicts.
According to draft documents, countries can join the board, but their participation would be capped at three years unless they pay more than $1 billion in cash within the first year.
Speaking to reporters on Monday, Peskov confirmed that Putin had been invited to join the body through diplomatic channels. "We are studying the details of the proposal. We hope to hold contacts with the US side to clarify all the nuances," he said, without elaborating on the specifics of the offer.
