The Kremlin says it is seeking to \u201cclarify all the nuances\u201d of the offer from Washington.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Russian President Vladimir Putin has been invited to join United States President Donald Trump\u2019s \u201cboard of peace\u201d, purportedly aimed at resolving global conflicts as well as overseeing governance and reconstruction in Gaza.<\/p>\n The invitation, which emerged on Monday, was extended as Russia\u2019s nearly four-year war on Ukraine continues and a peace deal there remains elusive. Trump had been pushing for an end to the war, one he claimed he would stop within 24 hours of taking office a year ago. A war of attrition has been raging on the ground, and peace negotiations are ongoing, but momentum has slowed again.<\/p>\n list of 3 items<\/span>end of list<\/span><\/section>\n The White House has reached out to figures around the world to sit on the \u201cboard of peace\u201d, chaired by Trump himself.<\/p>\n \u201cPresident Putin also received an invitation to join this board of peace,\u201d Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists on Monday.<\/p>\n Russia was seeking to \u201cclarify all the nuances\u201d of the offer with Washington, he said, without adding whether Putin is inclined to join.<\/p>\n Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, a Putin ally, has also been reportedly invited to join the group by Trump.<\/p>\n Moscow for years tried to balance relations with all major players in the Middle East, including Israel and the Palestinians.<\/p>\n But since the start of Israel\u2019s more than two-year genocidal war on Gaza and Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Putin has moved away from Israel, boosting ties with its foes, such as Iran.<\/p>\n Moscow has also sought closer relationships with the Gulf Arab states amid growing Western isolation.<\/p>\n Putin has previously praised Trump\u2019s efforts to resolve conflicts.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s really doing a lot to resolve these complex crises, which have lasted for years, even decades,\u201d Putin said in October.<\/p>\n Referring to the situation in the Middle East, Putin said: \u201cIf we succeed in achieving everything Donald has strived for, \u2026 it will be a historic event.\u201d<\/p>\n The assault on Ukraine and the war in Gaza have strained Moscow\u2019s traditionally good relations with Israel, home to a large Russian-born community.<\/p>\n The Kremlin has repeatedly criticised Israel\u2019s war on Gaza and called for restraint.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Gaza Strip is experiencing a humanitarian catastrophe in the full sense of the word,\u201d Putin was quoted as saying by the news agency RIA Novosti at a meeting with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in May.<\/p>\n \u201cRussia, as a friend of the Palestinian people, is trying to provide regular assistance,\u201d the Russian president added.<\/p>\n The \u201cboard of peace\u201d, which is expected to implement Trump\u2019s 20-point plan to end Israel\u2019s war on Gaza, is a three-tier governing structure consisting of representatives from around the world including the US, Europe and Arab countries.<\/p>\n However, it has been criticised by experts for placing Trump, pro-Israel officials like US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and polarising figures in the region, such as former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, at the top while Palestinians are relegated to the third tier with municipal duties, potentially marginalising Palestinian political agency in favour of a commercialised, \u201cneocolonial\u201d governance model.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Kremlin says it is seeking to \u201cclarify all the nuances\u201d of the offer from Washington.
