Russian President Vladimir Putin has been invited to join US President Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace,” the committee overseeing the reconstruction of Gaza, according to a report by CNN, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov saying on Monday that “President Putin also received through diplomatic channels an invitation to join this Board of Peace,” adding that Moscow is reviewing the proposal and “hoping to get more details from the US side,” while CNN said it had contacted the White House for comment, as Belarus later confirmed its own invitation and the Trump-chaired board — described by Trump as the “the Greatest and Most Prestigious Board ever assembled” — moves forward under a United Nations-backed plan to demilitarize and rebuild Gaza after two years of war between Israel and Hamas.
