- Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair
- Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney
- US Secretary of State Marco Rubio
- Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
- Argentinian President Javier Milei
- Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi
Several of these leaders have publicly acknowledged their invitations to join the committee. The involvement of such prominent figures highlights the international interest in the peace process and reconstruction efforts in Gaza.
Next Steps
As the Kremlin deliberates on the invitation, the response from President Putin remains pivotal. The international community continues to monitor any developments regarding the peace board’s formation and its potential impact on Gaza.
