Trump has now formally established the Gaza Peace Board. Around 60 countries received invitations to be founding members of the board including India, Greece, Cyprus, Pakistan, Canada, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Hungary, Vietnam and others. P
utin has also been invited, and while he has not yet confirmed his participation, the invitation alone is very significant.
Trump has effectively internationalised Gaza.
By creating a peace board chaired by the United States and backed by major global powers, Gaza is no longer something Israel can quietly erase or absorb. It is no longer a bilateral issue that can be handled behind closed doors.
Any attempt now to annex Gaza, wipe it off the map, or provoke a wider war is not an action against Palestinians alone, it is an action against an international coalition whose mandate is peace, reconstruction, and oversight. That is a completely different equation.
Israel can pressure Western politicians and weaponise history and guilt, but what it cannot do, is openly defy half the world without consequences. This board effectively freezes Israel’s endgame.
Gaza becomes internationally watched, internationally funded, and internationally protected. And while it may not yet be stated explicitly, the logical destination is obvious: reconstruction, sovereignty, and ultimately Palestinian statehood.
If Putin accepts the invitation, the message becomes even clearer. Gaza is no longer a playground for regional ambitions, it becomes a red line guarded by multiple power centres.
October 7th was supposed to open the door to expansion, instead, it may have triggered the very thing its architects feared most; the world finally stepping in to rebuild and protect Palestine.
happy to hear.. Maybe some of ‘saving Israel for last’?
I think so.
