Donald Trump, during the World Economic Forum in Davos, officially inaugurated the Peace Council, which is to manage the situation in Gaza, although its statute does not explicitly mention this area. Americanist prof. Tomasz Płudowski in “Onet Rano.” he was asked about the possible reasons for the creation of this organization.
Should Poland join the Peace Council?
What conditions must be met for Poland?
What does prof. think? Tomasz Płudowski about Nawrocki's offer?
What countries did not sign up to the Peace Council?
— This is some private initiative of Donald Trump. He has a mandate to deal with the Gaza issue, despite some bizarre ideas of creating a riviera there and removing the Palestinian population to who knows where, the expert said.
What is this about the Peace Council? “Privatized UN”
— Donald Trump has bigger ambitions. He hoped that it would be a privatized UN where he would make decisions. It is true that it is difficult to make decisions in large bodies, where there are many participants, consents need to be obtained, etc. China and Russia often block, but now they have been invited. How can a country that has been bombing civilians for four years be on the Peace Council? The point is for Trump to gain more power and influence in the world, added the Americanist.
The expert pointed out that “the most important countries in the Western world did not sign up for the Peace Council”i.e. Great Britain or France.
— This is a Council that has no democratic concept and, moreover, it duplicates an organization that already exists. This is currently a council of countries that are rather peripheral. Maybe he will play some role in the Gaza issue, but we don't know, he further said.
Reports about Nawrocki's offer to Trump. “Risky”
Polsat News reported that Poland would join the Peace Council, and in return the US would agree to establish a permanent military base in our country. Such a proposal was to be considered at the Presidential Palace, but it is not known whether Karol Nawrocki, who received an invitation to the organization, directed it to Donald Trump.
— This is a risky proposition because there is no money in the budget. What if Trump leaves office? We want permanent bases, but this is risky and the idea itself is questionable. I doubt he would agree. He would rather say “no” based on Putin's prompting than on our enthusiasm or long-standing friendship – summed up prof. Tomasz Płudowski.
