US President Donald Trump's latest diplomatic initiative has sparked intense debate across capitals and institutions worldwide. His 'board of peace' is an international body intended to oversee ceasefire enforcement and post-war reconstruction in Gaza, with Russian President Vladimir Putin indicating that Moscow could contribute up to £790 million ($1 billion) in exchange for a permanent seat.
The initiative aims to coordinate peacebuilding efforts, disarmament, governance support, and reconstruction in Gaza, with the possibility of expanding its mandate to other conflict zones. Putin's willingness to contribute, potentially using frozen Russian assets, has reverberated across global diplomacy and intensified debate over the board's legitimacy and strategic purpose.
