The U.S. president has extended invitations to several global leaders to serve as founding members of the board, which is part of a 20-point initiative aimed at securing lasting peace and rebuilding Gaza after two years of conflict between Israel and Hamas.

This invitation to Putin comes as the United States continues its diplomatic efforts to resolve Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine, which has persisted for nearly four years.

Among those set to join the Gaza committee as founding members are Argentine President Javier Milei and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, as announced on Saturday. Other leaders invited include Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has voiced criticism of the plan, stating that Israel was not consulted on its details.
