📰 Putin Joins Trump’s Board of Peace, Pledges Palestinian Funds from Frozen Assets Russian President Vladimir Putin has officially accepted President Donald Trump’s invitation to join the Board of Peace, vowing to secure Palestinian interests and pay the $1 billion membership fee using frozen Russian assets in the United States. The move signals Moscow’s bid to influence the post-war Gaza administration, even as Washington hesitates to unblock those funds. “I will pay the $1 billion first and foremost to support the Palestinian people and direct those funds to the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip,” Putin declared, according to Russia’s state media. Putin’s commitment comes amid Trump’s broader effort to reshape the Middle East through the Board of Peace—a transitional authority meant to govern Gaza and enforce a ceasefire with Hamas. Russia’s participation, however, raises eyebrows, given its past support for Hamas and its own geopolitical ambitions. Trump’s board includes 18 nations, but Israel has voiced concerns over the inclusion of countries like Turkey, Qatar, and Pakistan, all seen as Hamas allies. Meanwhile, Russia continues to host Hamas representatives, underscoring the complex web of alliances behind the peace theater. So who’s really calling the shots? When frozen assets become peace currency and Hamas-friendly states sit at the table, is this a new era of diplomacy—or just another power grab? #Putin#Abbas#BoardOfPeace#Gaza#Trump#Russia#MiddleEast 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸
