Why joining Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ could be tricky for India

The US-brokered Gaza ceasefire has entered phase two, with the new 'Board of Peace' set to govern post-war Gaza and global conflicts, chaired by Donald Trump. Trump invited India to join the Board of Peace, but New Delhi is still considering due to concerns over cost, leadership, and the Board's broad mandate. India faces a dilemma as joining could affect its multilateral stance and relations with the US, while refusal may risk diplomatic fallout with Washington.
