Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accepted an invitation from US President Donald Trump to join the Council of Peace. This is reported by UNN with reference to haaretz.com.
Details
The creation of the Council of Peace was announced last Friday, and its official opening ceremony will take place on Thursday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
The council's charter indicates that Trump has begun to position it as a competitor to the United Nations, despite the fact that it was originally created to manage the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip. The document does not directly mention Gaza.
According to media reports, about sixty countries received invitations, and twelve of them expressed interest in joining. Among the Middle Eastern countries, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Morocco have announced that they will join the Council of Peace. Regional sources also expect Turkey and Egypt to join.
At the same time, Netanyahu stated on Monday in his speech to the Knesset that Israel does not agree with the US position and will not accept the presence of Turkish or Qatari soldiers in the Gaza Strip.
Recall
US President Donald Trump suggested that his proposed "Council of Peace" could replace the "ineffective" United Nations.
