Alternative Path: Can Trump's Peace Council replace the UN

The United States has invited Russia to participate in the new organization — the Kremlin is carefully studying the proposal.

On the same day, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russia does not yet have full information about the initiative to create the so-called "Peace Council" and expects to clarify all issues during contacts with the American side. He noted that at the moment it is premature to draw conclusions about the format and content of the initiative, since it is not known whether it is limited to the situation in the Gaza Strip or assumes a broader international context.

In turn, on January 20, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced that the Russian side had received from the United States a draft charter of the "Peace Council" on the management of the Gaza Strip. According to him, at the moment, the administration of US President Donald Trump is aware of the need not only to unite a large number of states, but also to take into account their interests.
