Trump wants to include Putin in the Gaza Peace Council

Invitation also to Germany

Trump appoints Putin to “Peace Council” for Gaza

Surprising personnel proposal: Trump wants to include Putin in the “Peace Council” for Gaza. Germany also received an invitation.

US President Donald Trump has invited Russian leader Vladimir Putin to his “Peace Council” for Gaza. This is what the Russian government reports.

The German federal government has now received an invitation. Government spokesman Stefan Kornelius announced that they would discuss how to deal with this invitation in consultation with partners. He has not yet made a commitment for Germany to participate. Meanwhile, Kornelius did not want to decide whether cooperation with Putin as part of such a committee would be conceivable.

In response to a question, Kornelius said: “We will agree on the best path to pursue in order to pursue our core interest – namely, to achieve lasting peace in Gaza.” The Federal Government would like to thank you for the invitation. “We share the goal of serving peace in the world,” said Kornelius. “We are now ready to happily think with the US and partners about how we can do this together.”

The “Peace Council” is supposed to monitor compliance with the peace agreement between Israel and the radical Islamic Hamas that was sealed last year. It also includes former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

Several heads of state and government said they were invited by Trump on Friday to take part in this “Peace Council”, such as Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Egypt’s head of state Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Argentina’s President Javier Milei.

According to the current concept, the council should concentrate on the Gaza conflict. The committee is part of the second phase of Trump’s peace plan for the Gaza Strip, which calls for a permanent end to the war and the disarmament of the terrorist organization Hamas. Hamas rejects disarmament. The “Peace Council” is supposed to oversee the new interim government of the coastal strip.

This emerges from the draft charter, which was reported by several media outlets and the full text of which was published by the Times of Israel.
