India Invited to Trump's Gaza 'Board of Peace': How Will This Body Function?

  • US President Donald Trump launched the 'Board of Peace' initiative to oversee Gaza's post-war administration, economic recovery, and stability.
  • India is among several countries invited to participate in this US-led framework, which aims to implement a 20-point 'Comprehensive Plan' for Gaza.
  • The Board of Peace will function as an international organization and transitional governing authority, chaired by Trump with veto power.
  • The initiative features a three-tier governance structure: the US-led Board of Peace, the Gaza Executive Board with regional powers, and the Palestinian-led National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG).
  • Israel has raised objections to the inclusion of Turkey and Qatar in the Gaza Executive Board, citing concerns about their composition.

Why It Matters: India joins Trump's 'Board of Peace' to reshape Gaza's future, sparking debate over its structure and influence.
