The first meeting of the Peace Council is to be devoted to raising funds for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, according to information provided to the website by a representative of the US government. “Plans for the summit are at an early stage and may change,” we read.

Donald Trump's Peace Council has sparked skepticism
The initiative to establish the Peace Council was met with considerable skepticism, especially among the leaders of European countries. They refused to join the organization, among others: French, Swedes or Norwegians. Currently, 27 countries belong to the Council.
Only countries invited by the United States can join the Council. The standard term of office is three years, but countries that pay $1 billion in the first year gain permanent member status.
