Kremlin Says 'Too Early' to Discuss Russia’s Role in Gaza Peace Board

Russia has not yet received all the details about the Board of Peace on Gaza initiative and hopes to clarify its questions during discussions with the American side, according to Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov.

"It's premature to say this," Peskov said at a news briefing in response to a question about Russia and Belarus' possible participation in the Board of Pace, The Caspian Post reports, citing TASS.

"We do not yet know all of the details regarding the initiative on this board, whether it concerns only Gaza or includes a broader context," he said. "There are a lot of questions about this initiative so far, and we hope to receive answers during contacts with the Americans."

Earlier reports said that leaders of several countries, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, had received invitations from the US to join the body. The board is expected to begin work within the second phase of the peace plan agreed in October 2025 by Israel and the Palestinian movement Hamas through mediation by Egypt, Qatar, the US, and Türkiye.

Earlier, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced that Russian President Vladimir Putin had received an invitation to join the Board of Peace and was considering this possibility.
