Nicusor Dan, the Romanian president, shared on Facebook that he has been invited to the inaugural meeting of Donald Trump's 'Peace Board', scheduled for February 19 in Washington, D.C. While the invitation signifies Romania's potential involvement in international peace discussions, Dan clarified that a decision on Romanian participation has not yet been made. He stated that participation would depend on further discussions with U.S. partners about the format of the meeting, particularly for countries like Romania that are not currently members of the 'Peace Board' but wish to join under certain conditions.

The announcement comes amidst a broader context of international diplomacy regarding the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The American peace plan, which includes the establishment of a National Committee to Administer Gaza (NCAG), is intended to provide a structured governance approach for the Palestinian territory, potentially involving various countries in its administration. Hungary's Prime Minister also announced receiving an invitation, indicating a regional interest in the peace efforts promoted by the U.S. administration.

This invitation and the possibility of Romania's participation underscore the ongoing efforts to engage various nations in diplomatic negotiations concerning the Middle East conflict. The implications of such engagements can reshuffle alliances and influence future decisions related to the war in Gaza, highlighting Romania's strategic considerations in aligning with American diplomatic initiatives.
