- Greece
- Cyprus
- Canada
- Turkey
- Egypt
- Paraguay
- Argentina
- Albania
In a letter dated January 16, Trump described the invitation as part of a “historic and magnificent effort” to strengthen peace in the Middle East and introduce a new approach to resolving global conflicts. He stated that the conflict, which escalated on October 7, 2023, necessitated bold international cooperation and leadership.
Trump praised India’s global role and leadership, saying that Modi’s participation would help shape a secure and peaceful future for the region.
A 20-Point Roadmap for Gaza Peace
Trump said the Board of Peace is a central part of a 20-point peace roadmap that he announced on September 29, 2025. According to him, the plan received broad support from world leaders, including those from Israel, Europe, and several Arab nations.
He added that on November 17, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 2803, which welcomed and endorsed the vision laid out in the peace plan. Trump described this as an important step toward turning ideas into action.
“Now it is time to turn these dreams into reality,” Trump wrote, stressing that the Board of Peace would play a key role in moving Gaza from conflict toward peace and development.
What Is the Board of Peace?
The Board of Peace is planned as a new international organisation and a transitional governing administration for Gaza. Its purpose is to oversee peace efforts, coordinate international support, and ensure accountability during Gaza’s rebuilding phase.
According to the White House, the board will provide strategic oversight, help mobilise international resources, and ensure that development efforts are transparent and effective.
The board is expected to guide Gaza’s transition from war to peace, focusing on security, governance, and economic redevelopment.
Role in Israel–Hamas Ceasefire
Trump unveiled the Board of Peace during the second phase of a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. In October last year, Israel and Hamas agreed to Trump’s broader peace framework, marking a rare moment of cooperation after months of fighting.
The ceasefire aims to reduce violence, allow humanitarian aid, and create space for diplomatic solutions. The Board of Peace is intended to support these goals by maintaining international coordination and long-term planning.
Goals of the Gaza Peace Plan
The White House said Trump’s 20-point plan focuses on transforming Gaza into a de-radicalised, terror-free zone that no longer poses a threat to its neighbours.
Key goals of the plan include:
- Ending militant activity in Gaza
- Ensuring long-term security for Israel and surrounding regions
- Rebuilding Gaza’s infrastructure
- Promoting economic development and job creation
- Establishing stable governance and public services
The redevelopment plan aims to improve living conditions for civilians while preventing Gaza from returning to violence.
Executive Committee Announced
To carry out the Board of Peace’s vision, the White House earlier announced the formation of an executive committee made up of senior global leaders and experts. This committee will guide the board’s overall direction and major decisions.
However, Israel has raised objections, saying the committee was announced without proper coordination and goes against its policy. This criticism is seen as a rare public disagreement between Israel and the United States, despite their close alliance.
Members of the Executive Committee
The executive committee includes several high-profile figures:
- Marco Rubio, US Secretary of State
- Tony Blair, former British Prime Minister
- Steve Witkoff, US Special Envoy to the Middle East
- Jared Kushner, businessman and Trump’s son-in-law
- Ajay Banga, President of the World Bank
Other members include:
- Marc Rowan, CEO of Apollo Global Management
- Robert Gabriel, US national security adviser
This group is expected to handle diplomatic coordination, funding strategies, and policy decisions related to Gaza’s transition.
National Committee for the Administration of Gaza
The executive committee will oversee another administrative body called the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG). This group will manage on-ground administration, coordination with local authorities, and implementation of development projects.
The NCAG is designed to ensure that policies decided at the international level are effectively carried out within Gaza.
India’s Possible Role
If Prime Minister Modi accepts the invitation, India would play a significant role in shaping international peace efforts in the Middle East. India has traditionally supported a two-state solution and maintained diplomatic ties with both Israel and Arab nations.
India’s participation could add credibility to the Board of Peace and strengthen cooperation between developing and developed nations in rebuilding Gaza.
Looking Ahead
The Board of Peace are Planning to bring back the Peace to Gaza. Many World Leaders support that, but there are still Problems like Political arguments, safety issues, and making sure all the countries work together. The next few months are very Important for executing the Plan.
Trump is inviting PM Modi to participate, as the US wants more countries to help to solve this difficult and long Conflict.
