US President Donald Trump has invited India to become part of a proposed “Board of Peace” that will oversee governance and reconstruction efforts in post-war Gaza, underlining India’s growing stature as a trusted and balanced global partner in the Middle East peace process.
According to the White House, the initiative will include a main board chaired by President Trump, a Palestinian committee of technocrats tasked with administering the war-affected territory, and an executive advisory board to guide policy and reconstruction efforts. The move aims to bring together credible international stakeholders to ensure stability and long-term development in Gaza.

Pakistan has also confirmed receiving an invitation to join the “Board of Peace,” highlighting the broad international outreach of the initiative.
India’s inclusion is seen as particularly significant as it is widely regarded as acceptable to both Israel and Palestine due to its historic ties with both sides. New Delhi enjoys a strong strategic partnership with Israel while maintaining consistent diplomatic and humanitarian engagement with Palestine.
Reinforcing its commitment, India was among the first countries to send humanitarian assistance to Gaza through Egypt after the recent conflict began, providing relief to thousands of affected civilians. The invitation reflects international confidence in India’s constructive role in peacebuilding and reconstruction in the region.
