"The invitation to Putin, which has yet to be confirmed by Washington, raises more questions about the intended agenda for the board. It was originally part of Trump's ceasefire proposals for the Gaza war, and was supposed to oversee the transition to a lasting peace in the territory and supervise the work of a committee of Palestinian experts, also announced last week, who would take care of the day-to-day running of Gaza."
"The Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, told journalists on Monday that Russia was seeking to clarify all the nuances of the offer with Washington, before giving its response. The claimed invitation comes as Putin shows no signs of ending his invasion of Ukraine, in which hundreds of thousands have been killed and Russian troops have carried out multiple atrocities against civilians."
Russia has been invited to join a US-led board to oversee a ceasefire and transition to lasting peace in Gaza. The Kremlin said Russia is clarifying the offer's nuances with Washington before responding. The invitation coincides with Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine, where hundreds of thousands have been killed and atrocities have been reported, and where Putin has rejected ceasefire proposals along current frontlines. Putin's special envoy Kirill Dmitriev will attend the World Economic Forum in Davos and meet US delegation members, though it is unclear whether Gaza board discussions will occur. The board's first appointees include Trump, Tony Blair, Marco Rubio, Jared Kushner and Ajay Banga.
