Trump extends an invitation to Putin to join the "Board of Peace," and the Kremlin says the proposal is being reviewed.

In an effort to put an end to the ongoing conflict in Gaza, US President Donald Trump has invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to join his proposed "Board of Peace." On Monday, the Kremlin confirmed the development, stating that it is examining the proposal and asking Washington for further clarification.

"We intend to communicate with the United States in order to elucidate the specifics of the 'Board of Peace' proposal. In its initial response, the Kremlin stated, "We are studying its specifics."

The Board of Peace is reportedly included in the second stage of Trump's strategy to end the conflict in Gaza. Trump would serve as the body's lifelong chairman, and its initial goal would be to end the conflict in Gaza. Its role may later grow to include other international conflicts.

It is a broad international proposal, with invitations reportedly sent to about 60 nations, including Pakistan and India. Globally, governments have reacted to Trump's proposal with caution. Many nations have refrained from taking a firm public stance, even though some have acknowledged receiving the invitation.

Concerns have been voiced by diplomats that the new board may lessen the UN's ability to mediate international disputes. The plan, according to some officials who spoke anonymously, runs the risk of establishing parallel structures that could threaten already-existing international institutions.

Hungary, a close Trump ally, has enthusiastically embraced the proposal and accepted the invitation. Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, the president of Kazakhstan, has also agreed to join the Board of Peace, which is another boost to the plan. Tokayev wants to help bring about long-term peace and stability in the Middle East, according to his spokesperson.

Despite the extensive outreach, there are still a number of important questions that need to be addressed, such as how the board would operate, how decisions would be upheld, and how it would collaborate with already-existing international organizations like the UN.
