During a government meeting on Wednesday, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced that Poland will not join the U.S.-led peace council at the moment, citing certain national doubts regarding the council's structure. This decision indicates Poland's cautious approach towards international coalitions that may conflict with its national interests. Tusk emphasized that while Poland is not participating now, the possibility of joining in the future will continue to be assessed.

The U.S. peace council has already attracted several countries including Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Qatar, all of which have accepted invitations to be part of this international effort. In contrast, most European nations have generally declined to participate in the council, which signals a divergence in geopolitical strategies and engagements between Europe and allies in the Middle East.

Poland's decision reveals the complexities of international diplomacy, especially for European nations that are often torn between aligning with U.S. initiatives and addressing their own national concerns. This scenario may have broader implications for transatlantic relations and how countries within Europe navigate their roles in U.S.-led initiatives going forward.
