The initiative of the U.S. President evokes mixed opinions
U.S. President Donald Trump has announced the establishment of a new "Peace Council" for Gaza, to which 58 world leaders have been invited. This international forum aims to support the implementation of a peace plan and the reconstruction of the sector.
The official signing of the event's charter is scheduled for January 22 in Davos, as part of the World Economic Forum.
Among the invited countries are more than 50, including Israel, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Kingdom, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, as well as representatives of the European Commission.
The reaction to this initiative has been mixed. The King of Bahrain expressed a desire to join the Council, while France declined to participate, citing the possibility of duplicating the functions of the UN and expanding the mandate beyond Gaza. Some countries prefer to adopt a wait-and-see position for now.
The results of the charter signing in Davos will show whether the new Council will become an effective tool in the peace settlement process or remain merely a political declaration.
