President Trump emphasized that the "Council of Peace" will serve as a platform for cooperation with the UN and other states. It is important to note that the initial idea of creating this council arose in the context of the reconstruction of Gaza, but its functions have since significantly expanded.
At a meeting on Wednesday, seven countries, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, and Egypt, confirmed their participation in the new council, along with Israel, which also officially announced its intention to participate.
Countries that have already joined the initiative include Morocco, Belarus, and Bahrain. Additionally, Canada, Russia, and the United Kingdom received invitations to participate. UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper noted in an interview with the BBC that her country does not intend to sign the agreement on that day, citing concerns about the participation of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Trump addressed the council participants with a speech, noting that they are leaders of their nations, many of whom are popular. The "Council of Peace" will work closely with the UN, he added.
He also expressed confidence that the world has become "richer, safer, and more peaceful" compared to last year and stated that he has "resolved eight wars," adding that "one of them will end soon."
The President of the United States signed the charter of the "Council of Peace," which is now officially recognized at the White House. "We will achieve peace around the world, and this will truly be a significant contribution to history for all of us. Each of you is a star; otherwise, you wouldn't be here. Once the Council is fully formed, we will be able to achieve virtually any of our goals by working in cooperation with the UN," Trump said in his opening speech.
