This news report details India's invitation to join the newly proposed Gaza Board of Peace, an initiative aimed at ensuring long-term stability and reconstruction in the region. The proposal, reportedly chaired by US President Donald Trump, requires a significant membership fee of $1 billion to fund rebuilding efforts in the war-torn territory. However, the inclusion of Pakistan in the list of invitees alongside nations like Jordan, Greece, and Canada has sparked domestic political controversy. Reacting to the development, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi expressed strong reservations, stating that Pakistan's inclusion is 'laughable' given its history. She further suggested that India should decline the invitation, remarking, 'Thanks, but no thanks.' The report highlights that while the initiative seeks to resolve global conflicts, the high financial cost and the presence of specific neighboring states have raised significant questions regarding India's potential participation in the diplomatic board.
