Donald Trump’s Gaza peace proposal has placed India at the centre of a major geopolitical question. The US President has invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to be part of a “Board of Peace” for Gaza, projecting India as a key global stabiliser. But the offer is not without controversy. Experts are divided on whether India should join a body that includes Pakistan and operates outside the UN framework. Supporters argue India’s participation could bring credibility and help address a humanitarian crisis. Critics caution that the board’s structure, funding requirements, and long-term implications remain unclear. Former diplomats warn that accepting could complicate India’s regional interests, while others see it as a chance to shape global peace efforts. As India weighs its response, the decision will reflect how New Delhi navigates power, principle, and prudence on the world stage.
