Gaza Board of Peace: The United States President Donald Trump has generated worldwide buzz with the intention of including Russian President Vladimir Putin in the “Board of Peace,” a platform meant for solving global conflicts. The response from states to this idea has been measured as it may create complications for the peace mission currently in action by the United Nations. The Board of Peace has invited 60 nations across the globe, and this reveals the vision the United States President has for this platform.
Trump’s letter is said to include the offer for perpetual membership for Putin, putting Putin front and center in this conflict resolution board formation. This is meant to address some of the burning conflicts such as the Gaza conflict first off, with the view to resolving other international conflicts as time goes on. The membership is limited to three years unless the states contribute $1 billion towards this goal for perpetual influence over decisions made on the board.
The Kremlin has confirmed the reception of Trump’s letter, indicating that the proposal is under careful consideration. The spokespeople exercised delicacy in stating the intention to keep communication channels with Washington alive on this issue without making any hasty commitment. This is aligned with other fears that the Russian government has regarding joining an initiative that is led by a former incumbent rather than an administration.

The Peace Board, as proposed in the proposed charter, will have Trump as its head for life. The charter’s aim will start with resolving issues related to the Gaza conflict and may include resolving other conflicts around the globe. Membership will be based on three years or for life for nations contributing financially with payments of $1 billion. Critics are doubtful regarding its effectiveness and duplication of tasks by UN agencies.
The list of people invited is estimated at sixty countries, with Hungary being among the first to accept as they have close ties with Trump, and other countries such as Kazakhstan, under the leadership of President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, also willing to attend and offer assistance in ensuring that there is peace in the Middle East. Others have been silent or expressed reservations in that they fear that such a board will compete with other global organizations in multi-diplomacy.
Trump and Putin have a very controversial political link that is mostly known through former U.S investigations about policy connections with Trump and Putin. The offer to join the Board of Peace indicates Trump's effort to use connections for global diplomacy influence instead of following official channels of interaction. This move is seen as a potential challenge in existing international protocols for cooperation.
