US Envoy shares Trump's invitation letter to PM Modi to join Gaza "Board of Peace"

US Ambassador shares Trump's letter inviting PM Modi to participate in the new Gaza Board of Peace for Middle East stability.

"It is my Great Honor to invite you... to join me in a critically historic and Magnificent effort to solidify Peace in the Middle East - Donald Trump"

New Delhi, January 19

US Ambassador to India, Sergio Gor, shared President Donald Trump's invitation letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to be a part of the Gaza Board of Peace.

Trump sent a letter to Modi, which the US Ambassador to India, Sergio Gor, shared on social media.

"Honored to convey @POTUSinvitation to Prime Minister @narendramodi to participate in the Board of Peace which will bring lasting peace to Gaza. The Board will support effective governance to achieve stability and prosperity!"

In the letter, Trump said, "It is my Great Honor to invite you, as Prime Minister of the Republic of India, to join me in a critically historic and Magnificent effort to solidify Peace in the Middle East and, at the same time, to embark on a bold new approach to resolving Global Conflict!"

In his letter, Trump referred to his September 29 announcement of a Comprehensive Plan to end the Gaza conflict.

"Now it is time to turn all of these Dreams into reality. At the heart of the Plan is The Board of Peace, the most impressive and consequential Board ever assembled, which will be established as a new International Organization and Transitional Governing Administration," Trump wrote.

"Our effort will bring together a distinguished group of nations ready to shoulder the noble responsibility of building LASTING PEACE, an Honor reserved for those prepared to lead by example, and brilliantly invest in a secure and prosperous future for generations to come. We will convene our wonderful and committed partners, most of whom are Highly Respected World Leaders, in the near future"

The invitation comes as the US administration moves forward with formalising the "Board of Peace" structure linked to Trump's broader Gaza roadmap. On Friday, the White House unveiled the list of people appointed to the "Board of Peace" to oversee phase two of his 20-Point Peace Plan to end the Gaza conflict.

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, the White House said in a statement.

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.

While the invitation is an honor, I hope India proceeds with caution. Our foreign policy has always been about strategic autonomy. We must ensure any participation aligns with our national interests and doesn't compromise our principled stance on Palestine.

Interesting to see Ajay Banga (World Bank President) on the list. Having an Indian-origin leader involved might be helpful. But the board seems very US-centric. Let's see if Modi ji accepts. The Middle East is a complex chessboard.

As someone living in India, I appreciate the gesture. However, peace plans need buy-in from all parties involved in the conflict. A "Board of Peace" sounds good on paper, but the real test is on the ground in Gaza. Hope it brings real change.

India has historic ties with the Arab world and also strong relations with Israel. We are perhaps in a unique position to be a honest broker. This could be a chance to showcase Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (the world is one family) in action.

Respectfully, I'm skeptical. The inclusion of Jared Kushner and the timing feel political. India should focus on its own neighborhood and internal challenges first. Our diplomatic capital is precious. Let's not get drawn into every American initiative.
