Oneindia

President Donald Trump has invited Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to join a newly proposed Board of Peace for Gaza, a body tasked with overseeing post-war governance, security, and reconstruction. The move would significantly elevate India’s diplomatic role and place New Delhi at the center of future decision-making on Gaza.    Indian officials confirmed receiving the invitation after U.S. Ambassador Sergio Gor shared Trump’s letter online, though no response has been issued. The board is a key pillar of Trump’s Gaza plan, aiming to replace Hamas rule with a technocratic Palestinian committee under international supervision.       #Trump #Modi #Gaza #MiddleEastPeace #Pakistan #IndiaDiplomacy #IsraelGaza #GlobalPolitics #PeacePlan #WhiteHouse #USIndia #Geopolitics #PostWarGaza #InternationalRelations #Security #Diplomacy #WorldNews #BreakingNews #GazaReconstruction  ~HT.96~

00:00President Donald Trump has formally

00:27invited Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to join his newly announced Board of Peace

00:33for Gaza, a powerful body set to oversee the territory's post-war governance,

00:39reconstruction and security. The move signals a dramatic expansion of India's role in Middle

00:45East diplomacy and places New Delhi at the center of one of the world's most volatile conflicts.

00:51Indian officials confirmed the invitation on Sunday after the U.S. ambassador to India,

00:58Sergio Gore, shared Trump's letter to Modi on social media. Sources say New Delhi has the

01:04invitation in hand but has not yet responded. The Board of Peace is a cornerstone of Trump's

01:11Gaza peace plan. It is designed to supervise a temporary transitional governance in Gaza,

01:17replacing Hamas's control with a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee backed by

01:24international oversight. First unveiled in September 2025, Trump's plan followed a White

01:31House meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Hamas later agreed to release all

01:37remaining hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, a breakthrough that paved the way for

01:43the board. Trump is expected to chair the board himself alongside selected heads of state and senior

01:50figures, including former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair. The board will also manage funding for

01:57Gaza's redevelopment until Palestinian Authority reforms are completed. Pakistan confirmed on Sunday

02:04that Prime Minister Shabazz Sharif has also been invited to join the Board of Peace, underscoring Trump's

02:11attempt to bring regional rivals into the same diplomatic framework. Alongside governance, the U.S. is

02:18working to assemble a temporary international stabilization force for Gaza. Talks are ongoing

02:24with multiple countries about troop contributions, but India has drawn a firm line. Indian officials say

02:31New Delhi will not join the stabilization force, as it is not a U.N. mandated peacekeeping mission.

02:37However, Modi has publicly welcomed Trump's peace plan and the humanitarian pause it enabled.

02:44For decades, India has maintained that the Israel-Palestine conflict must be resolved through a two-state

02:51solution, with a sovereign Palestinian state existing alongside Israel, a stance repeatedly reaffirmed

02:58since October 7, 2023. If India accepts the invitation, it would mark one of its most direct roles yet in

03:06Middle East conflict management, balancing ties with Israel, the Arab world, and the West, while navigating

03:13domestic and regional sensitivities. For now, New Delhi is weighing its options. But Trump's invitation makes one

03:21thing clear. The future of Gaza, and the balance of power around it, may soon involve India at the highest diplomatic level.
