Trump Invites Putin to Join Gaza Peace Council

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on January 19, 2026 that Russian President Vladimir Putin has been invited to join a U.S.-led "Board of Peace" for Gaza, a move aimed at brokering a cease‑fire in the Middle East. The invitation comes as Trump seeks to forge a new diplomatic front against the ongoing Gaza conflict, offering Putin a formal role to mediate between Palestinian‑Israeli parties. Moscow has said it is studying the proposal and is hopeful of opening contact channels with Washington. If accepted, the council would be headquartered at the White House in Washington, D.C., and could serve as a platform for joint US‑Russian peace talks. The initiative reflects Trump’s aggressive domestic approval strategy and interests in international influence while avoiding direct military involvement.
