The 'Peace Council', initiated by former President Donald Trump, is set to hold its inaugural meeting on February 19, according to confirmations from a US government official. Although detailed plans for the meeting remain unclear, it has been reported that the gathering will also aim to raise funds for the reconstruction of Gaza. The event is scheduled to be held in Washington, D.C. at the US Institute of Peace, as initially reported by Axios.

The meeting has attracted notable interest due to the participation of key political figures, including Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who is recognized as a strong ally of Trump within the European Union. Orban's involvement highlights the ongoing geopolitical dynamics and the ties between Trump’s political influence and European leadership. The event is poised to address critical issues concerning peace initiatives and regional stability, particularly in the context of the ongoing reconstruction efforts following conflicts in Gaza.

The gathering's implications extend beyond immediate discussions; it marks a significant re-engagement of former Trump-era policies concerning foreign relations and denotes a continuing push for collaborative approaches in addressing global peace issues. The focus on fundraising for Gaza reconstruction indicates a broader commitment to resolving humanitarian crises while also positioning the US as a central player in peace negotiations within the region. This meeting could set the tone for future engagements and the direction of US foreign policy under current dialogues.
