Why Russia and the United States are unlikely to appreciate Paris' condition

Earlier, on January 19, Bloomberg reported that Macron intends to renounce membership in the Peace Council. It was noted that, in Macron's opinion, the actions of the "Council" go beyond the settlement of the issue in Gaza and call into question the implementation of the UN principles.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced on the same day that Russian President Vladimir Putin had also received an invitation from the United States to join the "Peace Council" for the settlement of the Gaza Strip.

The Axios portal reported on January 14 that the United States had sent invitations to a number of states to join the "Peace Council" on the Gaza Strip. On January 15, the American leader announced that the formation of the "Peace Council" had been completed. He also added that, in his opinion, this is the greatest and most prestigious council that has ever been created.
