From PM Modi to Meloni: Who Has Been Invited to Trump’s Gaza Board Of Peace?

From PM Modi to Meloni: Global Leaders Invited to Join Trump’s Gaza Board Of Peace Initiative

The administration of US President Donald Trump has launched a major international initiative aimed at stabilizing and rebuilding Gaza after nearly two years of devastating conflict between Israel and Hamas. The effort, formally titled the Board Of Peace, is part of a US-backed and UN-supported plan focused on demilitarisation, governance reform, and large-scale reconstruction.

The announcement has drawn global attention, particularly after confirmation that several world leaders — including PM Modi and Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni — have been invited to participate.

What Is the Gaza Board Of Peace?

According to the White House, the initiative is structured around three interconnected bodies designed to address governance, security, and reconstruction in Gaza.

The central authority is the Board Of Peace, which will be chaired by President Trump himself. Its mandate includes building governance capacity, managing regional diplomatic relations, attracting global investment, and overseeing major reconstruction funding.

Supporting this will be a Palestinian technocratic committee responsible for day-to-day governance in Gaza, alongside a Gaza Executive Board that will provide advisory support and operational guidance.

Confirmed Members of the Board Of Peace

The White House has confirmed several high-profile political, diplomatic, and financial figures as members of the main Board Of Peace. These include:

• Donald Trump, US President and Chair

• Marco Rubio, US Secretary of State

• Steve Witkoff, special negotiator

• Jared Kushner, senior adviser

• Tony Blair, former UK prime minister

• Marc Rowan, US financier

• Ajay Banga, President of the World Bank

• Robert Gabriel, National Security Council aide

The diversity of backgrounds reflects the board’s focus on diplomacy, economic rebuilding, and international coordination.

Gaza Administration and Executive Boards Explained

Beyond the main board, a National Committee for the Administration of Gaza will oversee public services and civil institutions. This body will be headed by Ali Shaath, a former deputy minister in the Palestinian Authority, and is intended to provide technocratic governance rather than political leadership.

The Gaza Executive Board, which will support governance and service delivery, includes international diplomats and regional representatives such as:

• Steve Witkoff

• Jared Kushner

• Tony Blair

• Marc Rowan

• Nickolay Mladenov, Bulgarian diplomat

• Sigrid Kaag, UN humanitarian coordinator

• Hakan Fidan, Turkish foreign minister

• Ali Al-Thawadi, Qatari diplomat

• General Hassan Rashad, Egypt’s intelligence chief

• Reem Al-Hashimy, UAE minister

• Yakir Gabay, Israeli businessman

This structure highlights the regional and international scope of the plan.

PM Modi’s Invitation and India’s Role

India’s role gained prominence after confirmation that PM Modi has been formally invited to join the Board Of Peace. The US ambassador publicly stated that the invitation reflects India’s importance in supporting stability, governance, and prosperity in Gaza.

India’s inclusion signals Washington’s intent to involve influential non-Western powers in shaping post-conflict governance, rather than limiting leadership to traditional Western allies.

Other Global Leaders Invited

Several world leaders have stated that they too received invitations to participate in the initiative. These include:

• Giorgia Meloni, Prime Minister of Italy

• Recep Tayyip Erdogan, President of Turkey

• King Abdullah II of Jordan

• Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, President of Egypt

• Edi Rama, Prime Minister of Albania

• Javier Milei, President of Argentina

• Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, President of Brazil

• Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada

The wide range of invitees underscores the ambition of the Trump-led Board Of Peace to gain broad international legitimacy.

Why the Initiative Matters

The Board Of Peace represents one of the most structured international efforts in recent years to address Gaza’s long-term governance and reconstruction. Unlike short-term ceasefire arrangements, the plan focuses on institution-building, economic investment, and sustained international involvement.

However, the initiative also faces scrutiny, with critics questioning its feasibility, representation, and long-term acceptance on the ground.

What Happens Next?

Participation decisions from leaders such as PM Modi and Meloni will shape the credibility and direction of the initiative. As discussions progress, the world will closely watch whether the Board Of Peace can move from diplomacy to durable stability in Gaza.
