Kremlin says Putin has been invited to join Trump's Gaza 'board of peace'

Kremlin says Putin has been invited to join Trump’s Gaza ‘board of peace’
The Guardian (UK)

The Kremlin has announced that Vladimir Putin has been invited to join Donald Trump’s “board of peace”, set up last week with the intention that it would oversee a ceasefire in 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 claim of an invitation comes as Putin shows no sign of ending his war in Ukraine, in which hundreds of thousands have been killed and Russian troops have carried out atrocities against civilians. The Russian president has repeatedly rejected proposals of ceasefire along the current frontlines.

The Kremlin also said on Monday that Putin’s special envoy Kirill Dmitriev would be attending the World Economic Forum in Davos this week and would meet members of the US delegation there. It is unclear whether those meetings will involve discussions of the Gaza board.

Just in case you had any lingering thought maybe the settlement was OK.

4. Hey Board of Peace, don't forget to ask the very peaceful Kim Jong Un. If not invited, he might break down & cry!

5. One strange thing ... Trump apparently sees this as a UN with power

However, it is TRUMP, not the US President that has ultimate power. So, unless he is the forever President, how does that work?

Apparently he thinks he has total power and immunity world wide.
