U.S. President Donald Trump has reached out to Mongolian Prime Minister Zandanshatar Gombojav with an invitation to participate in international initiatives aimed at ending the conflict in Gaza and strengthening peace in the Middle East, reports MiddleAsianNews.
In his official statement, Trump invited Mongolia to become one of the founding members of a new international structure called the "Council of Peace," which will be established with the support of the UN Security Council.
As part of his Comprehensive Plan to end the conflict in Gaza and strengthen peace in the Middle East, Trump announced that the UN Security Council has already adopted a resolution supporting this concept. The new Council of Peace, according to the president, will become one of the most influential and effective organizations in the international arena.
The creation of the Council of Peace was initiated by Donald Trump in January 2026. The main goal of this intergovernmental structure is to promote stability, restore legitimate governance, and ensure sustainable peace in conflict regions, especially in the Gaza Strip following the 2023-2025 war.
Some critics, including several Western leaders, view this organization as a "public relations project" of Trump, aimed at undermining the authority of the UN. One of the features of the Council is a commercial requirement: to obtain the status of a permanent member of the organization, a contribution of 1 billion USD is necessary.
The Council will address issues of diplomacy and investments.
According to Bloomberg, the Council's charter is structured in such a way that Donald Trump will be able to retain the position of Chairman even after the end of his presidential term in 2029, effectively ensuring himself a lifetime leadership.
The Executive Council of the Council includes prominent figures such as Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Tony Blair, and Jared Kushner—Trump's son-in-law. The council also comprises Steve Whitcoff, U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East; Mark Rowan, CEO of Apollo Global Management; Ajay Banga, President of the World Bank; and Robert Gabriel Jr., U.S. political advisor.
