India mulls joining US-backed Gaza reconstruction board
India is debating whether to join the new Board of Peace for Gaza, a US-backed group aiming to help rebuild and govern Gaza after the recent conflict.
The proposal, announced by President Trump and approved by a UN resolution, is still under review by India's Ministry of External Affairs.
India's dilemma over joining the board
This move puts India at a crossroads—while it supports a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine, it's wary about working alongside countries like Pakistan and Turkey on this board.
More than 20 countries have joined, but no other permanent UN Security Council members are in.
With big names like Tony Blair and World Bank President Ajay Banga on board, India's decision could shape its future role in Middle East peace efforts—especially as talks with the Arab League continue ahead of PM Modi's Israel visit.
