Vladimir Putin has received an invitation to join US President Donald Trump‘s Peace Council and Moscow is carefully studying the proposal, according to the Kremlin.
The Peace Council, which will serve as the general supervisory body for Gaza and will be chaired by Trump, will be composed mainly of heads of state from around the world. Leaders from various Middle Eastern countries and from around the world (including Greece and Cyprus) have also been invited. Kazakhstan has already responded positively.
This commission will begin its work by addressing the conflict in Gaza and then expand to address other conflicts, according to a copy of the letter and draft statute seen by Reuters.
Member states will have a three-year term unless they pay $1 billion each to fund the council’s activities and gain permanent membership, according to the letter.
Diplomats warn that the plan could damage the work of the United Nations, while questions have been raised about the West’s isolation of Russia since the invasion of Ukraine.
