Pope Leo has received an invitation from United States President Donald Trump to join the newly proposed 'Board of Peace', according to Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican's top diplomat. The pope, known for his critical stance on some of Trump's policies and his advocacy for Palestinians in Gaza, is carefully considering the offer. The board, initially focused on the Gaza conflict, is now intended to address global disputes, with some countries accepting the invitation while others remain cautious. The Vatican has not yet issued an official response, and observers note that the pope rarely participates in international boards, preferring the Vatican's established diplomatic channels.
