What happened:
On January 19, 2026, US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor shared a letter from President Donald Trump inviting Prime Minister Narendra Modi to participate in the proposed Gaza Board of Peace, a new international body aimed at supporting governance, stability and long-term peace in Gaza.
Why it matters to India:
The invitation places India within ongoing international diplomatic consultations on Gaza’s future, reflecting its growing global profile. How India responds will be shaped by its long-standing position of strategic autonomy, balanced West Asia relations, and commitment to dialogue.
