U.S. President Donald Trump made an official proposal to Mongolian Prime Minister L. Oyun-Erdene to participate in international efforts to end the conflict in Gaza and promote peace in the Middle East, as reported by MiddleAsianNews.
Trump invited Mongolia to become one of the founders of a new international structure called the "Council of Peace," which will be established with the support of the UN Security Council.
Additionally, Trump presented a Comprehensive Plan to resolve the conflict in Gaza and strengthen peace in the Middle East, which was supported by a UN Security Council resolution. The foundation of this plan is the Council of Peace, which, according to the president, will become one of the most influential international organizations in history.
The Council of Peace is an intergovernmental structure initiated by Donald Trump in January 2026. The main goal of this organization is to promote stability, restore legitimate governance, and ensure lasting peace in conflict-affected regions, especially in the Gaza Strip after the 2023–2025 war.
Some critics, including Western leaders, describe this project as Trump's "vanity project," suggesting it undermines the authority of the UN. One feature of the Council is a financial requirement: a contribution of $1 billion is needed to obtain permanent member status.
The Council will be a key body dealing with issues of diplomacy and investment.
According to Bloomberg, the Council's charter allows Donald Trump to remain Chairman even after the end of his presidential term in 2029, effectively granting him a lifetime status.
The Executive Council includes figures such as Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Tony Blair, and Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law. The council also features Steve Whitcoff, the U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East; Mark Rowan, CEO of Apollo Global Management; Ajay Banga, President of the World Bank; and political advisor Robert Gabriel Jr.
