Former United States President Donald Trump has reportedly invited Russian leader Vladimir Putin to join his proposed 'board of peace' on Gaza, a move that has sparked outrage in Ukraine and raised concerns across Europe. The invitation, which has not been confirmed by the White House, is seen as a significant gesture towards rehabilitating Putin's international standing, despite Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine. Critics argue that involving Putin in peace efforts, especially while hostilities continue in Ukraine, sends a troubling message and could undermine the role of global institutions like the United Nations. The development has led to speculation about whether the board's mandate could expand to other conflicts, including Ukraine, further intensifying geopolitical tensions.
