Donald Tusk, the leader of Poland's opposition, has made a significant announcement that Poland will not take part in the Peace Council proposed by Donald Trump. This decision stems from the unclear principles and structure of the Council, which raises concerns about its legitimacy and objectives, especially regarding reconstruction efforts in regions like Gaza. During a cabinet meeting, Tusk highlighted that an invitation to the Council's inaugural meeting on February 19 in the United States was sent to either the Prime Minister or the President of Poland, indicating that there were still open channels for future engagement.

Tusk emphasized that given the current ambiguities about the Council’s foundational principles and its legal status, it would not be appropriate for Poland to join at this time. He pointed out constitutional uncertainties around the Council’s structure and specific goals, especially those tied to international humanitarian efforts and conflict resolution. The lack of clarity on these matters has compelled Poland to take a cautious stance on involvement in a project that could affect its diplomatic relations and national interests.

Despite Poland's decision to refrain from joining the Council, Tusk reassured that Poland will continue to monitor the situation and remains flexible in its approach. He reaffirmed that maintaining strong relationships with the United States is a priority for Poland, stressing the need for clarity before committing to any international initiative. This development highlights the delicate balance Poland seeks to maintain between active international diplomacy and safeguarding its own national interests amidst the evolving geopolitical landscape.
