Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov announced that Russian President Vladimir Putin has received an invitation to participate in the Gaza Peace Council, a new diplomatic initiative reportedly being organized by former U.S. President Donald Trump. The council aims to foster peace and stability in the Gaza Strip, though details about its structure and objectives remain limited.
Peskov emphasized that the Kremlin is studying the invitation and assessing the potential for Russia’s involvement. He did not specify whether Putin has accepted or whether Moscow intends to participate in the proposed council. The announcement signals emerging diplomatic efforts involving multiple international actors to address ongoing conflicts in the region.
The Gaza conflict has longstanding regional and international implications, with various countries and organizations seeking to mediate peace. Trump’s initiative is one of several recent efforts aimed at stabilizing the area, though it has yet to be confirmed how broader stakeholders, including Russia, will engage. The international community continues to watch closely for developments regarding peace negotiations in Gaza.
