On Thursday, US President Donald Trump signed the charter of the “Peace Council” during a meeting that included leaders of the countries joining the newly formed council, in a move he said aimed to establish a new approach to addressing international conflicts.
Trump said in a speech during the meeting on the sidelines of the Davos Forum that his administration is “taking the formation of the Peace Council very seriously,” considering that “there is a real opportunity to establish peace and prevent the outbreak of new wars.”
The US president noted that “his administration ended the long-running war in the Gaza Strip and succeeded in reaching a ceasefire agreement,” stressing that “the United States is working to end conflicts, some of which have lasted for more than 35 years, with the aim of promoting international stability.”
Trump announced a “new roadmap for global policy,” revealing what he described as pivotal steps that included the files of Iran, Gaza, India and Pakistan, in addition to announcing the formation of the Peace Council as a new international council concerned with resolving conflicts.
Trump asserted that “the United States completely destroyed Iran’s nuclear capabilities last June,” while simultaneously declaring his country’s “readiness for dialogue with Tehran.”
On the Palestinian issue, Trump said that “a comprehensive ceasefire has been reached in the Gaza Strip,” issuing a “strong warning to Hamas,” while emphasizing that “the continuation of the truce is contingent upon its disarmament.”
The US president concluded his remarks by thanking “the leaders of the countries that have joined the Peace Council,” expressing “his appreciation for their support and participation in this initiative.”
So far, 35 world leaders have pledged to join the “Peace Council,” out of approximately 50 invitations extended to participate in this new international framework.
The list of countries joining included US allies in the Middle East, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar and Egypt, along with Turkey and Hungary, members of NATO, whose leaders have good personal relations with US President Donald Trump.
Other countries have also agreed to join the council, including Morocco, Pakistan, Indonesia, Kosovo, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Paraguay, Vietnam, as well as Armenia and Azerbaijan.
