Vladimir Putin has been invited to join a United States-led 'Peace Council' for Gaza, according to the Kremlin. The council, headed by Donald Trump and featuring Sir Tony Blair, is part of a broader initiative to address the ongoing conflict in Gaza, with invitations extended to 60 world leaders. The Kremlin stated that Putin is currently reviewing the proposal and seeking further clarification from the United States. Other leaders, including those from Kazakhstan, Hungary, and Vietnam, have accepted invitations, while Sir Keir Starmer has also reportedly been asked to join. The initiative is linked to a broader plan that aims to move beyond a ceasefire towards demilitarisation, technocratic governance, and reconstruction in Gaza, with an international force set to enforce the ceasefire and a new interim government established for the region.
