The Kremlin is reviewing the invitation and awaiting more details from Washington. The Board of Peace aims to promote stability and peace in conflict-affected areas, with Trump as its chair.

Other invitees include Jordan, Greece, Cyprus, Australia, and Vietnam. The initiative has sparked debate, with some calling it “Trump’s United Nations.
The Board’s structure includes an executive committee with Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, and Tony Blair. Its goal is to create modern governance in Gaza, attracting investment and serving the people.The move is part of Trump’s broader effort to address global conflicts.
