What the US declaration does do is make clear that Mr Trump views Gaza as the launching pad of a personal gratification project laced with money-making schemes. That committee will report to a so-called Board of Peace headed by Mr Trump himself. If India were to sign onto Mr Trump's Board, it would be complicit in his efforts to steamroll international law and the rules-based order that New Delhi itself touts as a pillar of its foreign policy. The future of the Board, after Mr Trump's term ends, is also unclear. There is no peace in Gaza.
