The invite to Trump's Gaza 'peace plan' highlights India's growing influence on the international stage, and reflects New Delhi's evolving role in global decision-making and diplomacy. This invitation comes at a time when geopolitical tensions and ongoing conflicts continue to shape global affairs.
ANI reported that on Friday, the White House unveiled the list of people appointed to the "Board of Peace" to oversee phase two of Trump's 20-Point Peace Plan to end the Gaza conflict.
According to the White House statement, the names include US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Trump special envoy Steve Witkoff, President of the World Bank Ajay Banga, and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner.
Furthermore, the list also includes Marc Rowan, Apollo Global Management's CEO, and US Deputy National Security Adviser Robert Gabriel.
The announcement also named members of the Gaza Executive Board, with Blair, Kushner and Witkoff also listed, along with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, Qatari diplomat Ali Al Thawadi and others.
The White House has clarified that the Executive Board members will oversee defined portfolios critical to Gaza's stabilisation and long-term success, including, but not limited to, governance capacity-building, regional relations, reconstruction, investment attraction, large-scale funding, and capital mobilisation, with US President Trump as the Chairman of the Board of Peace.

Alongside governance and reconstruction planning, the statement also outlined security arrangements to establish stability. Additionally, to establish security, preserve peace, and create a durable terror-free environment, Major General Jasper Jeffers has been appointed Commander of the International Stabilisation Force (ISF), where he will lead security operations, support comprehensive demilitarisation, and enable the safe delivery of humanitarian aid and reconstruction materials.
