The inaugural meeting of Donald Trump's newly formed Peace Council is set to occur this Thursday in Washington. Initially, the Council's focus was anticipated to be on achieving peace in the Gaza Strip, a goal that had garnered widespread support from nearly the entire international community, including the European Union. During the recent discussions in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, notable leaders such as the German Chancellor, the British and Italian Prime Ministers, and the French President, alongside various Arab and Muslim nation leaders, celebrated the 20-point peace plan. However, it is noteworthy that there was no representation from Poland during these crucial deliberations.

Following the Council's establishment, the UN Security Council endorsed President Trump's plan in November, which includes the creation of the Peace Council and the deployment of peacekeeping troops to Gaza. Achieving this level of unanimous support without any veto from one of the permanent members of the Security Council is a rare occurrence in such significant matters. Russia and China abstained from voting, while all other members supported the resolution, including countries that hold veto power, such as the United Kingdom and France, demonstrating a potentially historic moment for international diplomatic efforts in the region.

The absence of Poland in this context raises questions about its position and influence in European and global diplomacy, especially in light of key regional discussions. As the Peace Council's efforts unfold, the significance of various countries’ participation and the dynamics of international relations in addressing conflicts like those in Gaza will likely become increasingly evident. The reactions from Polish officials and the broader European response will be crucial to monitor as events develop further.
