India has received an invitation from U.S. President Donald Trump to join the proposed "Board of Peace" for Gaza. This invitation is part of Washington's wider diplomatic effort to find ways to stabilize Gaza and create governance structures after the conflict.

The "Board of Peace" is intended to be the main body overseeing Gaza's transition after the war, according to the White House. Chaired by Trump, it will concentrate on building governance capacity, strengthening regional ties, reconstruction, mobilizing investment, and securing large-scale funding.

Confirmed members of the Board include prominent figures such as U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Trump's special negotiator Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, billionaire financier Marc Rowan, World Bank President Ajay Banga, and senior National Security Council aide Robert Gabriel. Further appointments are expected in the coming weeks.

In addition to the main board, two more structures have been revealed. The National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), led by Palestinian technocrat Dr. Ali Sha'ath, will be in charge of restoring public services, rebuilding civil institutions, and stabilizing daily life in Gaza. The White House has called this a crucial step in putting Phase Two of Trump's plan into action. A separate Gaza Executive Board, which includes international diplomats and regional figures from Turkey, Qatar, Egypt, Israel, the UAE, and UN humanitarian coordinator Sigrid Kaag, will assist with governance implementation on the ground.

Along with India, several other countries have been invited, including Argentina, Canada, Egypt, Turkey, Albania, and Cyprus. Pakistan has also confirmed receiving an invitation. According to Pakistan's foreign office spokesperson, the prime minister received the invitation, and Pakistan will continue to support international efforts for peace and security in Gaza.

The "Board of Peace," established on January 15 as part of Trump's 20-point peace plan for Gaza, is viewed as a possible broader mechanism for resolving other global conflicts in the future. However, governments have reacted cautiously to Trump's invitation to his "Board of Peace" initiative, with diplomats suggesting that the plan could harm the work of the United Nations. Hungary, whose leader is a close ally of Trump, was the only country to give an unequivocal acceptance in response to the invitations, which were sent to approximately 60 nations and began arriving in European capitals on Saturday, according to diplomats.

India maintains historical ties with both Israel and Palestine making it an acceptable country to both.
