WASHINGTON/NEW DELHI January 18, 2026 – US President Donald Trump has invited India to participate in his newly proposed “Board of Peace,” an international initiative aimed at overseeing post-war governance, reconstruction, and long-term stability in Gaza, according to multiple sources.
The invitation extends to several countries as part of a broader effort to address the Gaza conflict and potentially expand to other global hotspots. The board, chaired by President Trump, reportedly includes high-profile US figures such as Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Jared Kushner, and business leaders like Marc Rowan.
Reports indicate that a draft charter circulated by the US administration proposes a $1 billion financial contribution from nations seeking permanent or extended membership on the board. At least six countries have confirmed receiving invitations, with mixed responses ranging from interest to caution.
Indian officials have acknowledged the invitation but stated that New Delhi is yet to issue an official response. The move comes amid ongoing efforts to stabilize Gaza following prolonged conflict, with the board intended to support reconstruction and prevent future escalation.
The proposal has sparked international discussion, with some viewing it as an innovative approach to peace-building and others expressing concerns over its structure and financial requirements.
This development was initially highlighted in social media reports and has since been corroborated by major outlets including Reuters, Fox News, NDTV, and The Times of India.
