Trump has invited Indian PM Modi to join the new Board of Peace to lead Gaza’s transition, alongside global figures in a historic initiative.
NEW DELHI: US President Donald Trump has officially invited Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to join the newly proposed Board of Peace, an international body designed to oversee post-conflict governance and peacebuilding in Gaza. The invitation, described as a “great honour,” was delivered via a formal letter and shared by US Ambassador to India, Sergio Gor, on social media.
According to the message, the Board of Peace will include a select group of global heads of state tasked with restoring governance, security and infrastructure in Gaza, following the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. Trump referred to the Board as “the most consequential body ever assembled” and part of a broader international plan to promote sustainable peace and development in conflict zones.
The Board will serve as the strategic body responsible for implementing a 20-point roadmap introduced by Trump in September 2025. The initiative includes deradicalising Gaza, ensuring it poses no threat to neighbours and transforming the region through international support and redevelopment.
The invitation to India comes as part of the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, following unanimous support for UN Security Council Resolution 2803, which welcomed Trump’s peace framework. Similar letters have reportedly been sent to several world leaders, including Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
Ambassador Gor called Modi’s inclusion essential to the Board’s goals, saying, “The Board will support effective governance to achieve stability and prosperity in Gaza.”
The Board’s charter outlines a high-level platform made up exclusively of world leaders under Trump’s leadership. An executive committee has already been named, featuring key international figures such as US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, World Bank President Ajay Banga, businessman Jared Kushner and Apollo CEO Marc Rowan.
The Board of Peace will also guide a secondary body called the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), which will handle the day-to-day operations of Gaza’s post-conflict recovery.
India, a strategic partner of the US and a growing voice in global peace initiatives, has not yet issued a formal response. However, diplomatic observers suggest that Delhi’s involvement could amplify the legitimacy and global reach of the initiative.
